Year: 2022 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Dolce and Sofia, our affable miniature Sicilian donkeys inspired this wine. Destemmed and left on the skins to start a native yeast fermentation, then after 5 days pressed to finish fermentation and aged in neutral French barrels. The 5 days of skin contact impart a copper hue, reminiscent of Italian Ramato. The taste is uniquely its own, landing somewhere between an orange wine and a rosé.  

This vintage is remiscent of the 2021 low yield vintage. Tiny berries with less juice to skin ration, making for a slightly darker color and more vibrant intensity. Fun and fresh, with lingering savory notes. A wine as unique as our Dolce. Hee Haw! 12.6 alc. 300 cases crafted."
