Drink When
You’re kneading dough, making up your own lyrics, and dishing out saucy goss. Patatino wants to party any time. Enjoy in a wine glass, from a mason jar, sneakily in a to-go cup…there are no rules.
Martha's Notes
This is our third Patatino, a wine that first celebrated the birth of my son, August (aka Patatino or “little potato” in Italian grandmother speak). This non-vintage edition is cheerful and unbounded, encouraging us all to set-aside preconceived notions and just play! Using carbonic maceration enables a light and fruity core, while blending vintages add just a touch of maturity and balance to this dry farmed blend.

Vinification Notes:
All varieties kept whole cluster and fermented separately in sealed tanks (carbonic maceration) before pressing. A small portion of the Valdiguié was co-fermented with Carignan and white Colombard grapes. Each lot completed fermentation in stainless steel tanks and was then aged for 6-18 months in neutral oak barrique and neutral vessels. Unfined. Unfiltered. Sediment expected.
Serving Temp:
Slightly chilled // 50-55°F (10-13°C) // Chilly when you put it on the table, loves to warm up with the crowd.
