Description
‘Skin’ is the wine that started it all; it was Craig and Carla’s first wine in 2008, inspired by a skin macerated Vermentino from Antonio Perrino during a trip to Italy. The wine has come a long way and each year provides with new flavors. They have toned down on the extraction and have now stopped experimenting as much as they used to, finding the wine’s sweet spot in terms of skin contact and the balance of flavors they’re looking for. Overall, they’ve reduced the length of time they leave the wines on the skin as the goal here is to find elegance and focus within this particular style.
