Marioni - 'Niña' - Rosé of Cab Sauv, Sauv Blanc - Sonoma, CA - 2022

The Rademacher Vineyard is a small 1 acre vineyard farmed by a close friend Nina Woltering. It was planted by her mother in the late nineties and aptly bears her maiden name. It’s 100% Cabernet Sauvignon clone 337. It has never seen chemical applications. It’s planted on the western Sonoma Valley next to a Eucalyptus windbreak and a small creek rich with penny royal, black berry, herbs and many happy birds.
Production Notes
Direct pressed cabernet sauvignon onto sauvignon blanc skins. These two macerate for a secret amount of time before being pressed off to neutral barrel to finish. This wine finished fast and strong.

Dan Marioni - Owner/Winemaker

In 2016, Dan went to the Coturri Winery, a historic wine making gem in Glen Ellen, to see what harvest was all about and he essentially never left. Dan began working with Nic Coturri, Tony's son, making wines under the Sonoma Mtn Winery label. The duo created a philosophy that honors the new and the old world, while being uncompromising about additions and subtractions in the winery. This challenge blooms a variety of wines and styles that lean into each vintage and work uniquely with each site. Sonoma Mtn Winery closed up shop in 2019 and Dan launched Marioni Wine. Before catching the wine bug, Dan graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a degree in mechanical engineering. Sonoma has been his family’s roots for five generations. It's said that he also received a bachelors in natural wine from Ruby Wine Company in San Francisco, where he continues to frequent whenever possible.
