Piazza Family Wines Nancy's Cuvée 2022 Review
Ron and Nancy Piazza started their winemaking journey in the 1980s when they planted the Mt. Carmel Vineyard by hand — a site that’s now considered the second oldest in the Sta. Rita Hills. In addition to working with classic Santa Barbara varieties like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Piazza Family Wines like to experiment with some out-of-the-box grapes and blends. And Nancy’s Cuvée is a great example, adding a splash of Graciano to the typical Syrah and Grenache combo. It pops with wild berries, herbs, and leather on the nose. The palate brings vibrant fruit and acidity, with impressive depth for its lower ABV, coming in at only 12.6 percent.
