Nicknamed by our winemakers as the “banana belt” of the appellation because of the warmer weather patterns, this area of the valley requires careful vineyard management to slow ripening. Diurnal fluxes can range 40° F from morning to evening -- with temperatures in the 40s at night to the 80s during the day. <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">MAN: Certified Sustainable farming methods reduce artificial inputs that can contribute to accelerated ripening. Pruning later in the season also helps slow the vine growth allowing complex flavors to develop. In the 2007 vintage, instead of crushing, the pinot noir was gently destemmed keeping the whole berries undamaged. The fruit and juice were gravity fed into open topped fermenters and cold soaked for five to six days to extract color and red cherry aromas. Native yeast fermentation gives this wine an extra layer of complexity, adding earthy aromas and gentle tannins. Finally, the wine underwent concurrent spontaneous malolactic fermentation over a four month period. </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">TASTING NOTES: The Giusti Pinot Noir is luxurious and rich </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">across the palate with well integrated tannins and structured </div> <div aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">character.
