Massican Annia 2023 Review
Dan Petroski started Massican in 2009 with the goal of making Mediterranean-inspired white wines in Napa Valley. Going all-in on white wines in an area known for powerful reds seemed a risky move at the time, but Petroski’s bet paid off and his unique, texturally-driven white wines stood out in Napa’s sea of Cab. Massican’s flagship blend, Annia, is inspired by the wines of Friuli, made with Tocai Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, and Chardonnay. Expertly balanced between richness and freshness, the Tocai Friulano and Ribolla Gialla grapes give the wine aromas of green apples, white flowers, almonds, and lemon zest, while the Chardonnay brings structure with bright acidity, a rounded texture, and saline minerality.
