✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Vellutini Ranch Syrah is a dramatic expression of cool-climate Russian River Valley Syrah, grown on a property contiguous to the historic Jackass Hill. Planted in 1999 on the steep, Goldridge sandy loam soils of the Vellutini Ranch—named in honor of Luisa Vellutini, who co-founded the estate with Giuseppe Martinelli in the late 19th century—this vineyard benefits from morning coastal fog and warm afternoon sun. The wine is crafted using traditional, minimalist techniques, including fermentation with wild yeasts in open-top oak vats and aging in French oak barrels. Unfined and unfiltered, it showcases the signature Martinelli style: remarkably bold, deeply concentrated, and intensely aromatic, balancing dark fruit, cracked black pepper, and savory smoked meat characteristics.
🍾 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.
