2022 Charbono

A very unique and exciting wine and one of the most food friendly of wines on the planet. Old World style.

Medium bodied with wild plum, dried porcini, and a slightly  tart wild blackberry aspect. Earthy rustic tannins, bigger body. A little bitterness on the end makes it perfect for food.  With firm acidity yet ample viscosity, it is lush and layered Enjoy now with decanting or age 4-8 years.

Venturi Vineyard is located just north of Ukiah in the Calpella Valley on predominantly Pinole gravelly loam soils. Containing a mixture of sandstone, shale and quartz, these deep, well drained soils were formed from alluvial flows, depositing fist sized stones along the way. Pinole soils are some of the most sought-after soil types in Mendocino County. Head-pruned, 90 plus year old vines contribute to this wine’s rustic elegance. Charbono, with its ancient origins and its robust expression of the land in which it’s grown, embodies an adventurous wine like no other. Sommeliers across the country love Charbono for its unique food pairing.
