COMMENT
"Birichino" was founded in 2008 by Alex Kraus and John Locke in Santa Cruz, California. "Birichino" means "naughty" in Italian, and their motto is "to make wines that have great aromas, balance, and a good sense of whimsy." They aim to make natural wines with as little artificial intervention as possible, and above all, they aim to make wines that will make people feel energized and happy when they drink them.
WINEMAKING
The wine is made from traditional Mediterranean black grapes, gently pressed to give it a vibrant color. 100-year-old Grenache and 120-year-old Cinsault vines give it a deep, long finish. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks.
