Giornata

If you are looking for a New World take on Italian varieties, then Giornata is right up your alley. Husband-and-wife team Brian and Stephanie Terrizzi focus on New World expressions of Nebbiolo, Barbera, Sangiovese, Aglianico, Vermentino and Montepulciano. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. I also had the chance to taste their 2010 Nebbiolo, aged and released much like a Barolo. Unfortunately, those Nebbiolo vineyards in the Adelaida district were lost and replanted to Cabernet Sauvignon. However, the good news is that Stephanie Terrizzi is working on a new estate vineyard, 4-5 acres planted five years ago. This new source of Nebbiolo will come online with the 2023 vintage. Production was down up to 50% in 2020 due to smoke taint. Included in that number is the Montepulciano, which was not bottled. Giornata is a must for any Italophile or lover of California wines.
