2021 Secondo Rosso
Harvested on August 13th from an old Guasti property, affectionately known by many names, including Heart of Sand and Maglite. The fruit was foot tread and half the stems were picked out. After 6 days, it went dry and we moved it to a fully-topped barrel for malolactic and elevage.
This vineyard, a mix of Grenache, Pais, and Alicante Bouschet, is a holdout from the old Secondo Guasti planting from the turn of the twentieth century. We've named the wine after him. Dusty thinks this is the best wine we've made to date.
• Alcohol 11.67%
• Heart of Sand Vineyard
• Cucamonga Valley
