Aromas of red berries, plums and dried roses are obvious at this stage of development.

An excellent example of a classic Italian varietal grown under the joyous Californian sun.

The Nebbiolo for PIP is grown across the Santa Maria Valley at Rancho Sisquoc on a tiny 1.63 acre section of the Bien Nacido Vineyard. This is a late-harvested varietal, but always has great acidity when harvested. After initial fermentation in open-top fermenters, the wine is put in both 500L Hungarian oak barrels and neutral French oak barrels for at least 3 years. Nebbiolo benefits from extended oak aging as the tannins mellow and all the flavour components become more integrated.
