-- More about Testarossa Winery --

Testarossa Winery is proud of the recognition they've been accorded by so many well-regarded publications. Under each varietal category, Testarossa Winery has a list of all scores, 90 points or higher, that their wines have received.

-- Testarossa’s Special Syrah Winemaking Techniques
It all starts in the vineyard where our winemaker, Bill Brosseau, works with our growers to produce rich, flavorful, and healthy grapes. All of the fruit is carefully hand sorted, and a gravity flow process is used throughout fermentation. For Syrah, we do an extended pre-fermentation coldsoak, and different from Pinot Noir, our winemaking team utilizes a combination of traditional punch downs mixed with more oxygenating pump-overs which are critical for this varietal.

-- Why is the Sleepy Hollow Vineyard special?
The Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, planted in 1973 in what is now known as the Santa Lucia Highlands Appellation of Monterey County boasts some of the oldest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines in North America. The gentle east-facing slope of the vineyard is covered with Pacific Ocean fog every morning, leading to a very long growing season. Owned by Robert Talbott, these low yielding vines receive exceptional care.

--What is Testarossa’s Palazzio Pinot Noir?
The name Testarossa (Italian for “red-head”) was Rob’s nickname while a University student in Assisi, Italy almost 20 years ago. We named our fl agship Pinot Noir “Palazzio” (a derivation of the Italian word for “Palace”) to continue the theme we started with our Castello (“Castle”) Chardonnay.
