Varietal: Chardonnay | Location: United States - Washington - Columbia Valley
It is the goal of Head Winemaker Bob Bertheau to make it a pleasurable, food-friendly wine. This is a fresh, soft style of Chardonnay with bright apple and citrus fruit character with subtle spice and oak nuances. We blend Chardonnay grapes from vineyards all over Washington's Columbia Valley to make this a complex, interesting wine. Sur lie aged for more than six months in a mix of French and American oak barrels (10% new) with regular stirring to soften the wine and integrate fruit and oak flavors.
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc | Location: United States - Washington - Columbia Valley
The mostly stainless steel fermentation makes this a crisp, clean, refreshing style of Sauvignon Blanc, offering fresh aromas and flavors of lemongrass, apple and melon. We add a touch of Semillon, which contributes an appealing fig character and a beautifully soft, rich quality to the wine.
In all its versions Cinzano, as an aperitif or as an after-dinner drink, is best enjoyed chilled. Before meals it can be accompanied by savoury snacks in order to perfectly prepare the palette for that which will come after. It can be enjoyed straight or with soda. Yet there is not only the hour of the aperitif to enjoy it: Cinzano is one of the most common ingredients used in the most renowned cocktails around the world. Moreover, also straight it is perfect as an after-dinner drink.
