Winemaker Notes

The 2021 Napa Valley grape harvest set new records for early maturity and reduced yields across all varieties in Napa. Extremely low rainfall in the winter and spring had growers struggling to manage water status and low vine vigor. Smaller canopies, short shoots and low yields have produced massive flavors and beautiful aromatics in the wines.

Food Pairing Notes

A beautiful, full-bodied wine to pair with Brown butter and sage gnocchi.

Other Notes

This wine is exclusively available for purchase directly from Castello di Amorosa and is not sold through other retailers.
