Before I tasted these in May with Michael I was going to skip the 2022 vintage.
At $70 for the Napa Cab and $140 for the I Nonni Cab, I suggest you try it.
Less than 35 cases of each were made.
Here’s the announcement:
We are thrilled to be sharing the 2022 vintage of Pezzato with you!
From budbreak to release, a span of more than two years, our dedication to these wines has been unwavering. It’s always a relief and joy to finally send them out into the world.
The 2022 vintage stands out as one of the most challenging in Michael’s nearly 20-year winegrowing career. We owe our deepest gratitude to our Grower Partner Jeff Phelan and Vineyard Manager Armando Hernandez. Their careful planning and flawless execution of heat mitigation measures late in the growing season allowed us to craft vibrant and fresh wines in 2022.
In this release, we have two wines to offer. Both were grown in the Phelan Ranch Vineyard, high up in the eastern hills of Napa Valley, above Lake Hennessey.
- 2022 Pezzato Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($70): A fruit-forward and fun wine that ranks high on the pleasure scale and always over delivers.
- 2022 Pezzato I Nonni Cabernet Sauvignon ($140): A dark and brooding wine crafted from Michael’s favorite barrels of the vintage. Characterized by precision and high-performance, you can think of it as the Porsche 911 to the Napa Valley’s fun & easy 1968 Mustang convertible.
You will have access to your allocation through August 20, or as long as the wine remains available. We will ship the wines in mid-November, weather permitting. Please reach out by phone (707-968-7023) or wine@pezzatowine.com?subject=Pezzato%20Release%20Inquiry) with any questions.
We would love to host you for a tasting next time you’re in Napa! wine@pezzatowine.com to schedule a visit.
Your support and enthusiasm inspire us to continue crafting wines that reflect the unique character of the year. We look forward to enjoying the 2022 vintage of Pezzato with you.
With much gratitude,
Andrea and Michael Savaiano
