Wine Enthusiast 91 | 2022 Piazza Carbonic Graciano Red Wine

Experience Piazza’s Vibrant Carbonic Graciano

Crafted in Ballard Canyon’s sun-kissed vineyards within Santa Barbara County’s renowned Central Coast AVA, this innovative Graciano redefines California reds through carbonic maceration—a technique yielding exceptional brightness without sacrificing depth.

Captivating Complexity

Earning 91 Points from Wine Enthusiast, our acclaimed 2022 vintage entices with intense aromas of black plum, cassis blooms, and violet layered over an inky palate. Expect vibrant dark fruit intensity balanced by youthful tannins and lively acidity—masterfully avoiding cloying sweetness often found in carbonic-fermented wines.

Winemaker’s Passion Unleashed

Our cellar team declares this their finest expression yet! Dive into juicy waves of red raspberry and boysenberries kissed by playful hints of cola spice and cracked pepper—all wrapped in velvety texture with a mineral-driven finish. At 12.6% alcohol, it’s refreshingly light yet complex enough to intrigue connoisseurs seeking unique low-intervention wines.

Perfect Pairing & Serving

Ideal slightly chilled on warm evenings alongside grilled salmon or mushroom tapas. Its chalky-smooth finale elevates charcuterie boards or soft cheeses beautifully—making every sip an adventure in sustainable Santa Barbara winemaking excellence.
