✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Zio Tony Ranch Chardonnay is a heartfelt tribute to Uncle ('Zio') Tony Bondi, a beloved family member and legendary farmer in the Russian River Valley. Located in the cool, fog-influenced heart of the appellation, the vineyard is planted on classic Goldridge sandy loam soils, which provide excellent drainage and impart a distinct mineral edge to the wine. Martinelli farms this site with meticulous care, allowing the fruit to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness. In the cellar, the wine is crafted using traditional, low-intervention methods: it is fermented with wild yeasts in French oak barrels, undergoes full malolactic fermentation, and is aged on its fine lees. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this Chardonnay is celebrated for its opulent texture, vibrant acidity, and complex layers of stone fruit, toasted brioche, and citrus blossom.
🍾 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.
