Dolcino

2011 Mendocino County Gewurztraminer

The Castello Di Amorosa Dolcino is an enchanting Gewurztraminer from the picturesque Mendocino County, a region renowned for its diverse microclimates that beautifully nurture grape growing. This delightful white wine captivates the senses with its medium body and a pronounced acidity that lends a refreshing vibrancy. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing delightful notes of lychee, peach, and floral aromas, making it an appealing choice for those who appreciate aromatic whites. Though the tannins are delicate, they provide a subtle structure that complements the wine's crispness, while its pleasantly off-dry profile enhances the overall experience, making it an excellent companion for various dishes or simply enjoyed on its own. The 2011 vintage exemplifies the craftsmanship found at Castello Di Amorosa, ensuring a memorable tasting experience.

Mendocino County

One of the unsung regions of the North Coast, Mendocino County enjoys some of California's finest cool-climate terroirs. Lying north of Sonoma, it is home to 12 separate AVAs, spread through sleepy valleys and long, rugged coastlines—much of which exudes a rustic, laid-back feel. Mendocino delights fans of top-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wine, but there is also plenty of fine Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah made in its warmer sites too. Mendocino is also famous for its high number of organic-certified vineyards, reflecting the general "off-grid" hippie nature of its winemaking pioneers.
