NEW RELEASE! We are proud to introduce our Pinnacle Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that represents the very best of Grassini Family Vineyards. The Pinnacle Cabernet Sauvignon transcends its predecessors and stands as the crowning achievement of the Grassini Family Vineyards wine portfolio. We are thrilled to share this exceptional wine with you and hope it becomes a treasured part of your wine collection.
Our 2020 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon opens with notes of plum, wild blueberry and cherries coated in dark chocolate, the aromas are captivating. The dark fruit notes that greet the nose progress into lingering aromas of sage, cedar, vanilla and worn leather. Dense and concentrated, the mid-weight palate is velvety and nuanced, with a decadent, well-rounded mouthfeel. The finish is firm and luxurious and leaves you ready for an immediate second sip.
A remarkable glimpse into the unique nature of our estate vineyard, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is harvested exclusively from our favored hilltop vines. Rooted in luscious, calcium-rich soil, these vines boast grapes of an elevated quality which offer an even more refined flavor profile.
NEW RELEASE! The 2021 vintage of our Articondo is a cuveé of four of the five red wine varietals that we grow on our Estate in Santa Ynez and is a true testament to the classic Bordeaux blend profile. This wine is fondly named after Articondo Grassini, the first member of the Grassini family to emigrate from Pisa, Italy.
In contrast to the other Sauvignon Blanc wines we produce, our Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is aged in a variety of French Oak barrels rather than stainless steel. By incorporating oak barrels of varying age, this wine is able to acquire a more substantial body while developing complex flavors all while maintaining the brightness associated with Sauvignon Blanc.
The Happy Canyon AVA is blessed with characteristics of both warm and cool climates. Our AVA is home to the warmest microclimate in the Santa Ynez Valley. Cool nights give way to dense early morning fog, which then lifts to reveal long afternoons full of bright sunshine - the perfect setting for growing some world-class Sauvignon Blanc!
NEW RELEASE! We are thrilled to share our seventh vintage of our much beloved Afiora Rosé. Composed entirely of Cabernet Sauvignon from our estate in Santa Ynez, we have fondly named this wine “Afiora,” as a tribute to Larry Grassini’s great-grandmother, Afiora Grassini. Afiora and her husband, Articondo, were the first members of the Grassini family to leave Pisa, Italy to start a new life in America.
