Hallcrest Itali-Cali Red Blend: organic grapes, no gmos no added sulfates
50% Barbera, 40% Sangiovese, 10% Carignane, 100% Mendocino
This is a wonderful blend of three, originally Italian varietals, grown organically here in Northern California from Mendocino County. Well typically these grapes are not traditionally blended together, we found a wonderful balance of fruit, tannins, acid and body to make a full body wine that can be enjoyed on its own or with traditional pasta pizza and meat dishes.
The deep rich in brambly fruit characteristics of the Sangiovese, are complemented by the bright fruit and firm acidity of the Barbera, and gently weaving these flavors together is the Carignane making this a beautiful well-made and well-balanced wine.
Limited production of 600 bottles, 14.5% alcohol, enjoy through the year 2025.
