About
Albini Family Vineyards was established in 1991 and we produce about 500 cases of handmade wine each year. Although we are small by most winery standards, our Merlot and Zinfandel wines have received national attention for their high quality and unique style.
We are proud of our artisan style of wine making, which follows a natural, hands-on approach. At 2 to 3 tons per acre, our vineyard yields are low and all of our grapes are hand-picked and sorted to assure only the highest quality fruit is used. Fermentation takes place in small, open-top fermenters utilizing indigenous (wild) yeast and the cap is punched down 3 - 4 times a day. Once the wine is dry, it is pressed in a basket press and then transferred to barrels.
Our Russian River Valley Merlot is aged for 20 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels. The Zinfandel is aged for 16 - 18 months in primarily American oak barrels. Both wines are unfiltered and they are hand-bottled at our estate winery in Windsor, California.
