The 2024 Rosé is sourced exclusively from organically and regeneratively farmed vineyards under the care of the Coturri family—sites that are not just vineyards, but part of Sonoma’s modern wine history.
- Dos Limones Vineyard — among the first organically farmed sites in Sonoma (since 1979)
- Barricia Vineyard — originally planted in the 1880s
- Brushera Vineyard — at the base of Moon Mountain District
- Rossi Ranch — one of Sonoma Valley’s benchmark sites
This is farming with intent. No shortcuts. No compromises.
This is who we are. This is what we do. This is wine we believe.
The Blend
- 56% Primitivo — brings body, ripe red fruit, and mid-palate weight
- 28% Grenache — adds lift, brightness, and aromatic precision
- 16% Mourvèdre — contributes structure, spice, and mineral edge
A rosé built like a red—just without the weight.
Winemaking
Cold settling on gross lees with bâtonnage to extract aromatic precursors. Fermented cold and slow over 3+ weeks, then racked clean and aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness and precision. No malolactic fermentation. Bottled early to capture energy and aromatic lift.
This is a hands-off, structure-driven approach—built on vineyard expression and fermentation, not oak.
- Harvest: Late September – Early October 2024
- Clones: Martini / Bedrock / Old Hill
- Rootstock: Own-rooted Primitivo, St. George

Why Try It?
Because this is not a “poolside” rosé.

No sweetness. No shortcuts. No formula.
A rosé for people who drink real wine.
Why Buy It?
- From historic Sonoma sites farmed the right way

Sonoma Valley is one of California’s historic wine regions, shaped by volcanic soils, mountain influences, and cooling Pacific air. Within it sits the Moon Mountain District—a higher-elevation zone known for rocky soils, intense sunlight, and wines with natural structure and freshness.
Translation: more tension, more character, less fluff.
