About the Wine
The 2022 Sangiacomo Chardonnay is sourced from grapes grown at the Kiser Vineyard off Arnold Drive in the cool and windy Sonoma Carneros AVA just north of San Pablo Bay. This venerable appellation is highly regarded as one of the finest places in California to grow cool-climate chardonnay. Using grapes sourced from the highly desired and low-yielding Old Wente selection, with its characteristic uneven berry sizing, allows our winemaker to craft a wine that gives a true sense of place.
