COMMENT
Indigo Eyes is a winery run by Italian immigrants Dario and Stefano. The two travel to several vineyards in California every year to purchase grapes in the best conditions and brew their wines.
They aim to create wines that are California-esque, but especially express the characteristics of the Napa Valley terroir. Their affordable yet consistently high-quality wines are attracting a lot of attention.
The name "Indigo Ice" was inspired by Stefano's blue eyes.
WINEMAKING
Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for 6 months in oak barrels.
