2022 Onde Nostre, Red Wine, San Benito County

Non c’è niente come le nostre onde.

They say that there are no waves, like your own waves. And for us, there are no wines like our wines. Onde Nostre is a love letter to surfing and to Italian-style wines.

This beautiful wine is primarily comprised of Barbera, Sangiovese, and Freisa from San Benito County. There, we partner with the Siletto family and their unique collection of vineyards. This region is famous for its well-draining gravely loam soil, and its Mediterranean climate. Moderate winters, and warm summers pair with a marine breeze from the Monterey Bay, creating grapes with siiiick flavor concentration, perfect acidity, and gnarly complexity.

The Siletto vineyards are legendary, not only for their unique terroir and varieties, but also for their history. Calleri Vineyard (Barbera) hosted a secret distillery during prohibition, while Wheeler Vineyard (Sangiovese) was planted in the 1970s by Bob Wheeler. Much like a locals only surf spot, these are vineyards all the cool winemaking kids want to get into.

Barbera and Sangiovese are some of our favorite varieties, not just from Italy, but from anywhere. Their medium bodies, intense flavors, and mouthwatering acidity make for wines that are just plain fucking delicious...with or without food (we'll get to that).

From the time you take your first sniff, to when the wine hits your tongue, this beauty is all about cherries and raspberries. On the palate, enjoy tart cherry flavors, raspberries, and cranberry fruit flavors with smoothly integrated notes of oak, vanilla bean, marzipan and candied rose violets. Hints of black tea, peppercorn, and tobacco leaf provide a savory touch to this otherwise juicy wine. Medium body, medium-plus acidity, medium tannin, but medium-ultra with that oh so sexy finish. Pairing wise, you'll want to match this up with some lamb ragù, meaty lasagna, or eggplant Parmesan.

We often draw through lines between the art of both surfing and winemaking, and recently learned of the small but vibrant surf culture that exists in parts of Italy. Though not as famous as the scenes in California, Australia, or Hawaii, the surfers of the Mediterranean are equally passionate about their spots. The term "Onde Nostre" means "Our Waves." For fun, we went with a mafia-esque crew on the label, boards in hand, heading to their own waves.
