Estate Grown

Lodi Aglianico

Mettler Family Vineyards Estate Grown Aglianico captivates with its deep red hue, showcasing the potential of this lesser-known varietal in Lodi's favorable climate. This full-bodied red wine offers a lively acidity that keeps the palate refreshed and engaged. On the nose, it unleashes a complex bouquet of dark fruits, like blackberry and plum, intertwined with hints of spice and earthiness that reflect its vineyard origins. The tannins are notable yet soft, providing a smooth structure that invites another sip. Remarkably dry, this wine showcases balance and finesse, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
