L.A. Cetto Petite Sirah
WHY WE LOVE IT
- The L.A. Cetto Petite Sirah is a bold red wine from Baja California’s sun-soaked Guadalupe Valley. This coastal region boasts a Mediterranean microclimate and sandy loam soils, which enable the robust Petite Sirah (Durif) grapes to develop deep concentration and rich structure.
- The vines are between 18 and 25 years old.
- This Petite Sirah is recognized for its exceptional value.
Varietal Composition: 100% Petite Sirah
Elaboration: Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature. The grapes are fermented for 15 days, then aged for 6 months in oak barrels, followed by another 6 months of aging in the bottle before release.
Tasting Notes: Intense plum red color, clean, bright, with a violet edge. Of great aromatic intensity, with red fruits and a herbal touch; as the temperature rises, aromas of chocolate and vanilla appear. Very pleasant on the palate, intense, fruity, complex, and balanced.
