Massican Winery Description
Our flagship white wine blend is sourced from small vineyards around the Napa Valley. The three grape varietals, Tocai Friulano, Ribolla Gialla and Chardonnay, are harvested separately and fermented independently in French Oak and stainless steel tanks until blending six weeks before bottling. The Tocai and Ribolla build the aroma and flavor profile of the wine, while the Chardonnay adds to the wine’s structure. Annia is fresh and subtle and fulfills the promise set forth years ago to bottle memorable white wines unique among the wines of California.
Tasting Note: Bouquet of apple and citrus blossoms, honeysuckle, and wet stones moving to lemons, peaches, and sea foam
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2023 Annia is a blend of Tocai Friulano, Ribolla Gialla and Chardonnay, picked on the early side to emphasize freshness. Pear, white flowers, mint, citrus peel and slate are all beautifully laced together. Attractive floral overtones lift the finish. This brisk white is a wine for the dinner table.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
The 2023 Annia contains fruit from both Sonoma County (66%) and Napa County (34%). Inspired by the wines of northeastern Italy, it’s a blend of 43% Tocai Friulano, 34% Ribolla Gialla and 23% Chardonnay matured for six months in used French oak and stainless steel. The nose is bright and inviting: lemon, oyster shell and saline are accented by touches of bread dough and spice. The light-bodied palate is crisp and refreshing with vibrant, citrusy flavors and a kiss of texture.
