Gemina is the name of an ancient Roman grape planted in the region around the Massican hills of southern Italy. This grape variety originates from Greece, dating back to the first century when it was first called Aminea Gemina. Gemina is a unique, white wine blend combining grapes originally from the south of Italy and now planted here in California. This blend balances our winery's familial history in the south of Italy with our passion for the fresh white wines of the Mediterranean.
A bouquet of refreshing ocean spray, pear skins and citrus zest. On the palate, lemon, lime, fig and ginger.

The trend of Italian varieties grown in California is one to watch and then discover in wines like this. Find lush aromas of orange blossom, white nectarine, green papaya, lemongrass and mineral on the nose. The palate introduces kaffir lime and white peach, intermingled with fresh herbs, orange zest, mineral and a mouthwatering, dry finish. Pair with grilled sand dabs.

The 2023 Gemina is a blend of Greco, Falanghina and Fiano, all native varieties of Italy's Campania. Dried pear, white flowers, chamomile and savory notes build beautifully. There's gorgeous textural depth and resonance here. A touch of skin bitterness lingers on the close.
