Martinelli Fort Ross-Seaview Pinot Noir 2018
Our 2018 Fort-Ross Seaview Pinot Noir has bright aromas of wild strawberry, fresh herbs and red plum. The vibrant palate has a refined mouthfeel with flavors of rhubarb and raspberry. The balance in acidity and structure, along with notes of baking spice, linger in the long finish.

Martinelli Vineyards
The Martinelli family has been growing grapes in the Russian River Valley since the 1880’s. At the ages of 19 and 16, Giuseppe Martinelli and Luisa Vellutini eloped from their small village in the Tuscany region of Italy, making their way to California looking for land to farm and start a winery. Giuseppe had been a winemaker in Italy and with his viticulture knowledge he was hired to plant a vineyard for a farmer in Forestville. Within two years he earned enough money, and borrowed some from a local wood cutter, to purchase land of his own. Working side by side on a 60 degree slope, Giuseppe and Luisa planted a small area of Zinfandel and Muscat Alexandria vines, which later became known as the Jackass Hill vineyard. Over 100 years later, this south easterly exposure remains the steepest non-terraced vineyard in Sonoma County.
