Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Greco 62%, Falanghina 38%. Gemina is the name of an ancient Roman grape planted in the region around the Massican hills of southern Italy. This grape variety originates from Greece, dating back to the first century when it was first called Aminea Gemina. Gemina is a unique, white wine blend combining grapes originally from the south of Italy and now planted here in California. This blend balances our winery’s familial history in the south of Italy with our passion for the fresh white wines of the Mediterranean.

 The 2022 Gemina is a blend of 62% Greco and 38% Falanghina and should come from vines planted in the volcanic hills of Campania, and tastes as though it might, but in fact comes from organically farmed vineyards in Dunnigan (Yolo County), Russian River (Sonoma), and Lodi (San Joaquin County) in California. Dan Petroski has crafted a lovely, pretty, layered white with delicate lemon and lime zest notes, jasmine, and lightly toasted almonds. Explicitly tart with bracing acidity underscoring pithy lime, kiwi, and grapefruit zest. Clean, sleek, and with the kind of mouth-puckering acid tension that can slice through oysters on the half shell or a parmesan-crusted Dover Sole.
