Marioni Niña Co-ferment 2022

Country: USA

Region: Sonoma Valley

Type: Co-ferment

Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon/Sauvignon Blanc

In 2016, Dan Marioni went to the Coturri Winery, a historic winemaking gem in Glen Ellen, to see what harvest was all about, and essentially never left. Dan began working with Nic Coturri, Tony's son, making wines under the Sonoma Mtn. Winery label. The duo created a philosophy that honors the new and the old world, while being uncompromising about additions and subtractions in the winery.

Sonoma Mtn Winery closed up shop in 2019 and Dan launched Marioni Wine, producing a variety of wines and styles that lean into each vintage and work uniquely with each site. Farming is 100% organic.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc from Rademacher and Denmark St. Vineyards were harvested on the same day on opposite sides of Sonoma Valley. The Cabernet was pressed directly to ferment over foot tread Sauvignon Blanc in stainless steel, then aged 6 months in neutral barrel. Fresh and peachy, with a savory quality, and a hint of pepper and lime.
