Founded in Santa Cruz in 2008, owners and winemakers Alex Krause and John Locke together draw a combined 35 years of making and selling wine. The name Birichino comes from the Italina meaning of naughty or mischievous. Their first Pinot Noir is a 2011 St. Georges Pinot Noir from the Central Coast sourced from the southern Santa Cruz Mountains. The winemaking features native ferments, neutral barrels and avoidance of fining and filtaring when possible.

Dark red. Black raspberry, cherry, red berry, sandalword, cola and fresh flowers on the expressive perfumed nose. Sweet, deep and expansive in the mouth, offering pliant red and dark berry and floral pastille flavors that are brought into focus by zesty acidity. Blends richness and energy smoothly, finishing with very good clarity and sweet fruity persistence. The wine offers great value and will satisfy your Pinot urges.
