Description

From the Bedrock Wine Co. website:

“A jewel of a vineyard planted in 1906, Puccini is perched at 750’ above Shultz Road in the back-alleys of Sonoma Valley (its closest neighbor as the bird flies is Rossi Ranch). I, half-jokingly, call the vineyard ‘Clos de Puccini’ due to its resemblance to some of the walled Clos of France. The 1-acre vineyard was put in by a stonemason who erected a beautiful rock wall around three sides of the vines on the steep hillsides to keep out grape-loving wildlife. The vineyard is gorgeous, and has been lovingly cared for by the Puccini family for the last two generations.”
