About Martinelli Vineyards
Martinelli Winery is truly a creation born out of love. Founders Giuseppe and Luisa Martinelli eloped from their native Tuscany in 1895, with little more than their knowledge of winemaking, and set out to make a life in the new world. Over a century later, we can safely say that they succeeded.

95 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2009
($75) Bright red. An explosively perfumed bouquet displays blackberry, rose and violet oil, gardenia, cinnamon, mace and smoky minerals. Fat, palate-staining red and dark berry flavors reach every corner of the palate, betraying no rough edges, tannins or warmth. Gains energy with air, finishing with nervy berry and cherry skin notes and excellent clarity. This is the type of wine that I'd like to drink by itself.
