2007 Santino Mediterranean Muscat Canelli, Shenandoah Valley of California |
||||||||||||||||
 In a setting amidst the pastoral beauty of California’s Shenandoah Valley, Santino Winery stands as a tribute to excellence in winemaking. Since 1979, Santino has been producing wines from the soil of Amador County.Winemaker’s NotesThe floral fragrance of a Muscat wine is not easily forgotten. In homage to our Italian roots we looked to the region of Asti in Northern Italy for inspiration. There they plant the Moscato Bianco or Muscat Blanc. When that grape was brought here it was called Muscat Canelli. We harvest at what we feel is the perfect ripeness to make this wine such a good aperitif. Low in alcohol and barely sweet it is refreshing and luscious. It is wonderful served over fresh melon or strawberries. It is also very tasty when served with biscotti.VintageThe growing season of 2007 probably reflects what climate change has in store for us. We had half the normal rainfall, the snow pack was pitiful, and there were large swings in temperature especially around harvest. Download PDF |
