Omaggio Rosso 2020
“I come bearing gifts!” the nobleman said as his carriage arrived at the doorway of the regal villa. The housemen began unloading the sturdy wooden crates, carrying exotic spices, clothing and manuscripts from his travels. As the final box was unloaded the young houseman smirked at the young green vine tendril that reached out through a small crack in the crate. “Persistent,” he thought, “you will do well.”

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A vibrant and limpid pale ruby hue, aromas of savory tart cherry and wet stone relay the delicate, charming appeal of this special wine. On the palate, it shows zesty and fresh acidity, highlighting red fruit flavors and a polished yet persistent tannin on the finish.
Winemaker Notes
Omaggio Rosso is our homage to the unique Ottavianello, a grape grown widely throughout Italy that is also known as Cinsault in France. We had the fortune to try a few of these unique wines and greatly enjoyed them, but were stymied by their rarity and our lack of ability to import one to share with visitors to our Village. So we chose a great single vineyard and made one that we feel best represents the style shown in the examples we sampled.
Food Pairing Notes
A worthy compliment to a savory Cioppino.
