2021 Wrath Falanghina
In Stock
Wrath owner, Michael Thomas, is an archaeologist with two excavations in Italy. This wine combines his work in Italy with his California winery. The 2021 Wrath Falanghina comes from the two rows of this ancient grape planted in our estate vineyard. It is fermented in stainless steel tanks until dry and then rested in tank for several months to allow flavors to knit together. A fragrant bouquet of orange blossom, jasmine and lemon leads to subtle flavors of honeydew melon and lychee with a hint of seat salt spray. Very refreshing and clean.

Vineyard Notes
Our Estate San Saba Vineyard is set in a sheltered nook just below the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. The estate consists of 72 acres of which 67.75 are planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and Falanghina. This is a cool site with little rainfall and one of the longest growing seasons in the world. Our soils, Arroyo Gravelly Loam and Hanford Gravelly Sandy Loam, provide a low-vigor, well-draining, disease- and pest-free medium for our vines. They also impart a subtle mineral quality to our wines. To preserve our local ecosystem, we have worked with viticultural consultant Steve McIntyre to develop a sustainable farming program (SIP), certified by CCVT, tailored to our estate. In addition to protecting the local environment, we believe it allows us to produce wines that are more authentic and specific to our terroir.
