NEW! 2006 Nebbiolo
The 2006 Nebbiolo from the Musso Family Vineyard features a special selection of Nebbiolo budwood with an excellent lineage that we have planted at our 2,400 foot site in El Dorado County. The fruit was harvested the first week in October in pristine condition and reflecting our high hopes for the incredible bouquet that Nebbiolo is renowned for. This special bottling is our first effort with this rare varietal, not often seen in California.
