✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Lolita Ranch vineyard is situated on a steep, eastern-facing slope along Martinelli Road in the Russian River Valley, on land originally owned by Bob Martinelli's aunt, Lolita. This unique site benefits from the cooling influence of the nearby Russian River fog combined with warm afternoon sun, allowing the Zinfandel grapes to develop intense concentration while retaining balanced acidity. In keeping with the family's traditional winemaking philosophy, the wine is crafted using native yeast fermentation and is bottled unfined and unfiltered. This creates a powerful, deeply expressive Zinfandel that showcases rich dark fruit, warm baking spices, and the distinctive, rugged terroir of this historic estate.
🍾 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.
