✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Martinelli 'Bella Vigna' (Beautiful Vines) Chardonnay is a masterful expression of the Russian River Valley's cool-climate terroir, sourced from the family's historic estate vineyards. This cuvée is crafted to highlight the pristine fruit character of their younger vine plantings alongside select parcels of older vines. In the cellar, the Martinellis employ traditional, minimalist techniques: the grapes are whole-cluster pressed, fermented with native yeasts in French oak barrels, and undergo full malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged on its lees to build a rich, creamy texture before being bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its natural intensity, vibrant acidity, and deep golden hue.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Martinelli Winery blev grundlagt i slutningen af 1880'erne af de italienske immigranter Giuseppe Martinelli og Luisa Vellutini og er i dag en berømmet familieejad vingård med dybe rødder i Californiens Russian River Valley og Sonoma Coast. Gennem mere end et århundrede har familien dyrket historiske, stejle skråninger – herunder de legendariske parceller Jackass Hill og Jackass Vineyard, som blev beplantet helt tilbage i 1887. Drevet af et kompromisløst fokus på eget markarbejde og nænsom vinfremstilling formår vinhuset at indfange Sonoma Countys unikke mikroklimaer og terroir. Martinelli nyder verdensomspændende anerkendelse for sine kraftfulde Zinfandels fra gamle vinstokke, udtryksfulde enkeltmarks-Pinot Noir, strukturerede Syrah-vine og fyldige, cremede Chardonnayer.
