Emmolo - Napa Valley - 2023
Emmolo - Napa Valley - 2023
Guided by the idea that “less is more,” this wine is dry and fresh, with crisp fruit flavors and bright minerality. It is sourced from three California regions where Sauvignon Blanc thrives. Some of the grapes come from Lake County as well as family vineyards in Napa Valley. The majority come from Suisun Valley, an agricultural gem only a short drive from Napa with exceptional growing conditions. Their farming practices enable one to create a wine that is not overly ripe – while also not herbaceous – featuring low alcohol and bright acidity.
On the nose the wine is dry and crisp, with notes of barely ripened melon, honeysuckle, flower blossom and the scent of fresh rain. On the palate: A zing of acidity on entry, then rounds out with flavors of honeydew carried over from the nose. A mouthwatering finish that calls you back for another sip. Style differentiator: The wine is not overly ripe – while also not herbaceous – featuring low alcohol and vibrant acidity.
Ideal vineyards: Source from three places in California with warm days and cool nights where Sauvignon Blanc can thrive – Suisun Valley (within Solano County), Lake County and Napa Valley.
