Cuvée Soif 2024
VARIETY Sangiovese 45% Barbera 55%
LOCATION Walnut Grove, Arizona
VINEYARD Hassayampa Vineyard and Farm
VINIFICATION The Sangiovese and Barbera grapes were hand picked and transported to Arizona Stronghold in Camp Verde, Arizona for vinification. The whole cluster grapes were directly pressed upon arrival at the winery and fermented with native yeasts in a stainless steel tank and left to age for ~7 months on the gross and fine lees. Racked and returned once before bottling. Unfined, unfiltered with 20 PPM of added SO2 a week before bottling.
EXPRESSION Raspberry gelato and white flowers on the nose, fresh squeezed grapefuit juice on the pallet. This Arizona Blanc de Noirs from Sangiovese and Barbera maintains healthy acidity while being expressive and elegant. The ripe red fruit combined with the slightly tart citrus brings balance to the wine making it dangerously thirst quenching ;)
