BW LA VITA SCM 2018

Tasting Notes

A blend of three Northern Italian varietals, the 2018 La Vita has Refosco leading the way, followed by Dolcetto and Nebbiolo.  Refosco and Dolcetto contribute dark fruit and body to the blend, while Nebbiolo brings lively aromatics and its beautiful brick-red color.  Notes of black plum and cranberry are met with black pepper, licorice, and savory spice.  32 months of barrel aging have allowed this wine’s firm tannins to soften up beautifully. Enjoy now, or cellar for up to 5-10 more years if you prefer.

Each year a release party is held to unveil the new label design. Part of the proceeds from the sale of LA VITA goes to a non–profit organization in Santa Cruz County. We are pleased to be able to, in a formal way, give back some of the proceeds to the Santa Cruz community, which has been so supportive to BARGETTO WINERY and the Bargetto family through the years. The 2018 La Vita Beneficiary is Housing Matters!
