We're excited to announce the release of our first EVER Piedmont Rosso! Join us at the Tasting Room on Saturday, July 16th for a taste of our Barbera/Nebbiolo blend, the 2018 "One Shady Lady."
One Shady Lady is a blend of 70% Barbera, and 30% Nebbiolo, and was inspired by Craig's friendship with world-class Italian wine producer Attilio Pecchenino. Craig spent time studying winemaking with Attilio back in 2018 when he learned of the Piedmont Rosso blends, where winemakers blend the 3 predominate grapes of Piedmont (Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto) to achieve different expressions of terroir and subregion. Craig sought to recreate this regional practice with California grapes, blending 30% Nebbiolo with a base of 70% Barbera. The result is a singular wine that balances the smooth, everyday drinking of a Barbera with the complexity and character of a Nebbiolo. Packed with black raspberry, blackberry, tobacco notes, red licorice, leather and roses, this wine is truly unlike anything we have ever produced.
The name One Shady Lady was first used by Craig and Karen in the early days of Suveg Cellars, appearing on the 2015 GSM blend. Craig wanted to revive the name for his first Piedmont Rosso, stating that wine you have to meticulously blend can be "one shady lady."
