Tony Coturri Saturnalia 2018

Saturnalia is a red blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grown on organically farmed vineyards in Sonoma, California. The grapes are hand harvested, fermented with native yeasts, and bottled with no fining, no filtration, and zero sulfur additions at any point in the process. This is Tony Coturri's approach in its purest form: nothing added, nothing taken away.

Coturri sources fruit exclusively from vineyards free of pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides. The winery sits on Sonoma Mountain above Glen Ellen in the Valley of the Moon, where volcanic-based, well-draining soils and a thermal belt climate moderate temperatures during the growing season, producing grapes with both ripeness and natural acidity.

Coturri wines age in oak barrels and are bottled when Tony deems them ready. With no preservatives and no stabilization, the wine evolves in bottle and rewards those who store it properly. Expect the deep, fruit-driven character typical of Sonoma Mountain reds, grounded by earthy structure and a dry, honest finish.
