Winemaker's Notes: VINEYARDS
Foppiano Vineyards sits on a 160-acre estate in Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley, known as one of the most esteemed wine regions in the world. The family planted grape varieties that thrive in this temperate coastal region: Petite Sirah, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, among others. Paul Foppiano, grandson of patriarch Louis J. Foppiano, manages the vineyard and maintains superior vineyard practices. With a great respect for the earth, the Foppiano family farms their land sustainably by limiting pesticide use and providing the highest level of care and maintenance. It is our goal to ensure the vineyards continue to produce quality fruit now, and for many years to come.
Watch Paul Foppiano talk about our cover crops.
Accolades for 2011 Foppiano Estate Pinot Noir Russian River Valley:
Terroirist.com: Vibrant ruby color. Juicy raspberries and tart cherries on the nose, laced with lots of herbs and spices (rhubarb, white pepper, sage) and a sweet floral accent. Bright and crunchy on the palate, but bold as mouth-coating as well, with a nice mix of tangy cherries and rich black cherries and plums. Lots of white pepper, rhubarb, spicy oregano, backed up by some light roast coffee, roses and loamy soil. A Pinot Noir that covers all the bases, and does it well. Aged in French oak, 25% new. 90 points
