Monte Volpe

2011 Mendocino County Negroamaro

Global Wine Co. Monte Volpe is an exquisite 2011 vintage that showcases the striking characteristics of the Negroamaro varietal. This red wine hails from the picturesque Mendocino County, where the combination of Mediterranean influences and diverse soil types offers a compelling backdrop for exquisite grape growing. On the palate, the wine presents a luscious profile with a medium body that is perfectly balanced by a vibrant acidity, enhancing its overall freshness. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing enticing dark cherry and ripe plum flavors intertwined with hints of spice and earthiness. The tannins are notably firm yet supple, contributing structure without overshadowing the wine’s luscious character. With its beautifully integrated elements, this full-bodied wine embodies a delightful dryness that invites further exploration and enjoyment.

The North Coast AVA is a vast "super region" covering three million acres of prime land north of San Francisco. It encompasses the famous wine counties of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, as well as Lake, Marin and Solano. While most wines from these counties are made under one of the prestigious regional AVAs, winemakers can also blend grapes from different counties. In this way, they create wines that show off the quality of the entire region and are not limited to specific terroirs. Common varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
