WINE DESCRIPTION
Lioco Indica is a tribute to California's winemaking heritage, crafted from hand-harvested Carignan grapes sourced from historic Mendocino County ranches. With meticulous sorting and fermentation in open-top tanks and T-bins, the winemaking process achieves precision. Following pressing, the wine ages for 10 months in a combination of neutral oak barriques, puncheons, and stainless steel, allowing it to evolve gracefully. The vineyards, scattered across diverse elevations and soil types, highlight the rare, dry-farmed, head-trained Carignan vines.

ORIGINS
Winery: Lioco
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
