2022 Ruby Blanca Barbera

Barbera from Clement Hills AVA in Lodi, California, produced by Ruby Blanca Wines from organically farmed grapes grown on the ancestral land of the Miwok and Pomo People. This low-intervention wine is made from de-stemmed grapes that undergo partial carbonic maceration. While Barbera is fairly rare in some regions, this expression showcases the variety's versatility and character. Complex yet light enough to serve chilled, making it an approachable and distinctive bottling.
