Viansa
Pacomio Aleatico
Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Consumed 06/2016. Pierina Means "made of stone" which is an apt name for a wine made from the Vernaccia grape. Vernaccia is native to the hills surrounding San Gimignano in Tuscany, where it is typically crafted to display flinty, almost mineral flavors. As the only producer of Vernaccia in the United States, Viansa has chosen to take this greap in a different direction. The result is a more multi-dimensional, fruity style of wine that still stays true to its origins. 'Pierina' Vernaccia is an absolutely wonderful wine crafted entirely from estate grown Carneros grapes.
