Martinelli Moonshine Ranch Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by the renowned Martinelli family in the Russian River Valley appellation of Sonoma County, California. The vineyard is situated on a hillside with a unique microclimate that allows for slow ripening of the grapes, resulting in a complex and nuanced flavor profile. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting the grapes and fermenting them with native yeasts, followed by aging in French oak barrels for 10 months. The resulting wine is a rich and elegant Pinot Noir with notes of dark cherry, blackberry, and spice, balanced by a smooth and velvety texture. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of a truly exceptional wine.
