GIUGNI Gina et Mikey

This Pinot Noir comes from famed vineyards in Santa Barbara County: Bien Nacido, Solomon Hills, Sierra Madre Vineyards and Los Alamos Vineyard. Sustainable farming, five picks with a combination of whole cluster and whole berry fermentation, native fermentation and aged in neutral oak for 8 months. Unfiltered, unfined, with the only addition being a touch of SO2.
Mikey & Gina Giugni established Scar of the Sea in 2012 in San Luis Obispo, California. "The Central Coast offers us the opportunity to live, work, and play by the sea, who is influential to the vineyards we work with and how we spend our time. The ocean’s presence has shaped our way of life along with the climate, soils, and geology of the coastal vineyards we work with that fall under the spell of her fog each day. Scar of the Sea focuses on working with farmers who are instrumental in farming for the future and making wines with as little intervention as possible. Our wines are made with the intention to tell a story of where they come from, the people who farm them, and reflect each vintage under the California sun."
