Proving that Italian varietals can produce stunning wines outside of Italy… Winemaker Brian Terrizzi is on a mission to give these varietals a voice, from an area that he found perfectly suited for Italian grape varieties. With cuttings from some of Italy’s top wine Estate’s planted in the similar soils of Paso Robles, his wines are gaining world-wide acclaim. After honing his skills at Rosenblum Cellars, winemaker Brian Terrizzi gained more valuable first-hand experience with Italian varietals, working for Paolo DeMarchi at Isole e Olena in Tuscany. Each of his new releases has stunning purity, balance and delineation, and each one simply put a smile on my face. If you haven’t experienced these sacred Italian varietals grown in the perfect California climate, you’ll want to try a mixed case. You’ll be surprised by how profound each wine is.
You may order each wine individually below, or click on the 3 bottle image above to order a mixed 15-Pack which includes 5 bottles of each. His production is tiny with just 2 to 6 barrels of each of the below wines produced. I strongly recommend securing some before they run out…

2017 VERMENTINO
COYOTE GLEN VINEYARD
Retails at: $30.00/btl
Your Price: $26.99/btl
Notes: “Sourced from Vermentino in the 30 year old Coyote Glen vineyard. The fruit is destemmed and placed directly in unlined terra-cotta amphora and fermented on the skins for three weeks with native yeasts. Elevage continues in the same vessel for about eight months where it racked to tank and then bottled by hand and labeled by Brian and Stephy’s 12 year old twin daughters.”

2015 AGLIANICO
LUNA MATTA VINEYARD
Retails at: $45.00/btl
Your Price: $39.99/btl
From Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate: “The 2015 Aglianico Luna Matta Vineyard offers up an attractive bouquet of ripe cherries, dried herbs, sweet soil and pencil shavings. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with a chewy chassis of tannin and more weight and body than its sibling from the French Camp Vineyard. It’s a more complete wine.” 91 Points

2014 NEBBIOLO
LUNA MATTA VINEYARD
Your Price: $44.99/btl
From Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate: “Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2014 Nebbiolo has expressive baked cherries, black raspberries and red currants on the nose with hints of black soil, charcoal and dried roses. Medium to full-bodied, with a racy acid backbone lifting the intense red berry flavors, it has a chewy frame and long, fragrant earth-laced finish.”
