✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted from estate-grown Pinot Noir grapes in the cool, fog-influenced Russian River Valley of Sonoma County, Martinelli's Rosé of Pinot Noir is a vibrant testament to the family's multi-generational farming heritage. Utilizing fruit from their meticulously managed vineyards, this rosé is typically produced using gentle whole-cluster pressing or a short maceration to extract its delicate pale salmon hue and bright red-fruit aromatics. The Russian River Valley's signature maritime fog and goldridge soils allow the Pinot Noir grapes to ripen slowly, retaining the crisp acidity and lush strawberry, raspberry, and subtle spice notes that define this elegant style. It represents a refreshing, terroir-driven expression of the estate's world-class Pinot Noir program.
