This dry rosé is built around 85% direct-press old-vine Carignane from Venturi Vineyard in Calpella, near Ukiah in Mendocino County. The vines were planted in 1948, have been dry-farmed since inception, and grow in alluvial Pinole gravelly loam soils on the former Russian River riverbed. The farming is certified organic, managed by third-generation grower Larry Venturi.
The remaining 15% is a deliberate blend of two components: 10% old-vine, own-rooted, untreated Zinfandel from Lodi, and 5% skin-fermented Muscat from Contra Costa County. The Carignane provides the structural backbone and high natural acidity the variety is known for. The Zinfandel lightens the body and adds stone-fruit character. The skin-fermented Muscat contributes aromatic lift to the nose without adding sweetness.
Winemakers Shaunt Oungoulian and Diego Roig ferment with native yeasts, add no fining agents, and do not filter. Full malolactic fermentation rounds the texture while preserving freshness. Minimal sulfur is added before bottling only if needed, evaluated barrel by barrel.
