Our Favorite Things

Grazie! Thank You For a Great Year!

With the 24 vintage coming to a close it was a remarkable year for Raffaldini in many ways.  We had a very strong harvest and dodged most of the damage inflicted by Hurricane Helene. After nearly two decades of endless replanting in the vineyard we are “finally” in the home stretch with some new varietals coming on line in the next couple of years. Our first ever sparkling rose botanical infused wine was met with great success and we plan to roll out an entire flight starting in April. We also made the critically important decision to move our red wine release from two to three years to allow for more approachability which we believe is required given our increased use of the Appassimento drying process. None of this would be even remotely possible without the great support of our loyal friends and patrons. As we approach our 25th anniversary in 2026 we look forward to sharing even more exciting and deeply rewarding times. Our best wishes to you and your loved ones. 

Salute!

Highest-Rated Vermentino Almost Gone!

There are less than 30 cases remaining of the highest rated Vermentino Superiore we ever produced, the critically acclaimed 2023 vintage. We expect this wine to be sold out by the end of the month and the 2024 vintage will not be released until March to allow for sufficient time in bottle. 
 
Similarly, there is less than 10 cases of the benchmark 2021 Grande Riserva left until the 2022 vintage is released at the end of January. Insert link to purchase with bottle picture
 
As outlined in the Special Note from Jay, as we transition from a two year to three year release cycle for the reds, our wines will be in increasingly short supply as we manage the changeover period. We profoundly believe the wines will show even better with an additional year of aging in the bottle.
