Rossi Hommage Blanc 2022

Few places are more important to the Coturri Family than the Rossi Ranch. Phil first worked here in the 1970’s, beginning his career helping Valentine Rossi harvest his eponymous vineyard, which had first been planted in 1909. It was the 1977 harvest when Arden, a young hippie from New Jersey, showed up looking for work. She picked grapes that day and met her future husband, another hippie farmer named Phil. It’s not surprising that Phil jumped at the opportunity to return in 2013, and the Rossi Ranch is now a key part of the Sixteen 600 lineup. This vintage of Hommage Blanc is made from 80% Roussanne, 15% Grenache Blanc, 5% Clairette Blanc, all organically farmed on volcanic soils, delivering notes of lemon, stone fruit, citrus zest, and subtle hints of smoke. Pair with rich sauces, poultry, and roasted fish.
