Don't wait until summer to savor rosé; this special release is a charming way to stay in the pink for holidays (or any day) at home. Nighttime temperatures become remarkably chilly as harvest approaches in many of the best new world appellations. Grapes retain most of their acidity with diurnal temperature changes of 40° to 50° during ripening, which is perfect for producing world-class rosé as well as the best red wine. That wide temperature swing is just what happens in Mendocino. Our 2021 Rosé of Sangiovese is produced from organically grown grapes from Gibson Vineyards in Hopland. The vines are sited on gravely loam soils formed off the alluvial fans of Feliz Creek Canyon and because it is a warmer viticultural climate than Anderson Valley, it is better suited for many red wine-grape varieties including Sangiovese.
