2009 Vino Rosso

Crafted from rich fruit from select Sonoma vineyards, this is a wine that shows why the 2009 vintage has won critical acclaim. A Super Tuscan blend, our Winemaker has taken a unique blend of Italian and California native varietals to create a wine that’s the epitome of Viansa style. Predominately Sangiovese (42%), it combines Primitivo (28%), Zinfandel (14%), Petite Verdot (12%), and a bit of Barbera (4%), for what’s an easy-sipping, multidimensional blend. Select Sonoma lots that together show as a wine that’s

balanced and medium-bodied, it exudes delicious aromas of black cherry, blackberry and plum, complemented by briary spice and hints of chocolate. Lively with acidity and supple tannins, it’s food friendly from beginning to its long and lingering end. An ideal wine to enjoy alongside Grilled Portobello

Mushrooms and Burgers, we suggest it as the pairing to Veal Parmigiana.

2011 Pinot Grigio

This is 100% Estate-grown fruit that translates into a pure Italian-inspired wine pleasure. A wine that comes from our vineyards on the Sonoma side of Carneros, it saw all stainless steel fermentation. Translating to a wine that’s classic to the varietal, it has tropical elements like citrus and guava, highlighted by green apple and light floral notes. Refreshing with a tartness that gives way

to a soft middle texture and a tangy but delicate finish, it’s a wine that finishes relatively dry while lingering nicely on the palate. An approachable wine that is perfect alongside food, it’s as apt for a grilled

chicken sandwich as it is Dungeness Crab Cakes or a shrimp Caesar Salad.
