This wine is made in the Classy d’Asti style Barbera, medium bodied, with piquant, formidable, lively acidity and moderate flavor intensity making it one of the best food wines on the planet. Brilliant Ruby color. Sleek with formidable acidity. A touch of white pepper rounds out this wine in its endless quest to support rich Risotto with Black Truffle and Chicken Calcitroic. Enjoy now with decanting or age 2-5 years.
Located close to Ukiah, bordering the Redwood Valley AVA, where the Russian River flows the length of the Ukiah Valley and has been its defining landmark for eons. The fertile flood plain of this storied waterway is flanked by miles of benchland, pinole soils. The two topographies create a superb growing region reminiscent of the Medoc. The Pauli family is a multi-generation farmer. Our mission is to produce award winning, authentic Barbera.

Winemaker Notes
2023 Harvest: The 2023 Pauli Ranch grapes were picked late at night and delivered to the winery nice and fresh. Later than normal due to the colder and shorter growing season but picked before the bulk of the rain. The lot started fermentation spontaneously after a 4 day cold soak at 45 degrees.
