2022 Martha Stoumen "Rosato", Mendocino County, California, USA
This restorative expression of their one-night-wine smells like coming home to a fresh-baked strawberry rhubarb pie. Rosato’s straightforward aromas and compelling acidity invite you to lace up your roller skates for a sunny dose of sweet (but technically dry) nostalgia.
ABOUT THIS WINE
Whole clusters (stems intact) of Nero d’Avola and Negroamaro foot tread for an overnight maceration on skins before pressing the following day. Co-fermented and aged in neutral tanks and neutral oak barrique for 6 months. Unfined. Filtered for stability.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Martha Stoumen Wines was founded upon the desire to recapture a farming and winemaking culture that has all but faded away: a winemaking culture of patience.
After 8 years apprenticing around the world, Martha set out as a self-funded, first generation winemaker to answer the question, “What does California taste like?” In our hot little corner of Northern California, Mediterranean grapes thrive and healthy vineyards allow us to create joyful balanced wines. Our wines are made from unexpected varietals and offer new takes on California classics. We do things the right way even if it's not the easy or cool way. Of the nearly two dozen wines we make every year, blends and flavors change but our desire to share the simple pleasures of natural wine remains the same.
