Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Our Bella Vigna label is curated from our Estate Pinot Noir vineyards primarily
grown in the Sonoma Coast appellation. We wanted to create a blend that reflects
the characteristics of our Estate vineyards and is still true to our Martinelli style.
Bella Vigna translates to “Beautiful Vines”, and our winemaking team chose barrels
that best denote the flavor profiles of our small, Pinot Noir vineyards combined
Winemaker Notes
The 2019 season was overall very cool with record rainfall in Sonoma County in
February. The vines however, were not affected by this because they were still
dormant at the time. Similar to the 2018 season, spring and summer were
moderate in temperature and ripening developed gradually and under minimal
stress. This year was in fact so similar to 2018 that we began harvest the same
day, on September 10th. Unfortunately another wildfire hit the region at the end of
October, but luckily none of our vineyards were affected. The winery and many
staff were evacuated, but we were able to keep an eye on the new vintage with a
skeleton crew. The quality was not impacted and we are very excited at the
concentration of flavors in this vintage
