WINE DESCRIPTION
Giornata French Camp Vineyard Aglianico is a robust expression of the Aglianico grape, originating from southern Italy and thriving in the warmth of Paso Robles AVA's French Camp Vineyard. Situated in one of Paso Robles' warmest sections, this Aglianico block benefits from slow ripening, preserving remarkable freshness and acidity at lower sugar levels. Harvested last in the season, the thick-skinned Aglianico yields brooding dark fruit flavors early in fermentation, gradually revealing nuanced floral and spice aromas. With native fermentation in neutral French oak, this 100% Aglianico showcases the grape's intensity and Paso Robles terroir, making it a distinctive and memorable Central Coast offering.

ORIGINS
Winery: Giornata
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
