Straight from The Grapefather’s genius for stand-out blends that are smooth, well-balanced, go well with food, and that age nicely. Deep ruby.
Nello could brag that his Barbera wins big awards like Double Gold, Best of Class, Best Red of Show and so on. But he focuses on Barbera as an everyday people’s wine.
Dry, medium body, high acidity, smooth ripe tannins. Grown at 2,400-feet elevation on west-facing slope. Aged in French oak for 20 months.
It consistently wins high praise and gold medals. The prestigious Orange County Fair named it Best of Class.
Though it has a French name, Nello’s Petite Sirah has a big brawny Italian soul that matches his passion for intense wines that evolve with age.
The first year of the Grapefather ever produced.
