The DaVero Winery is located right near Healdsburg in the wonderful Sonoma Valley, California. The founders of DaVero choose to keep some of the vineyards they inherited when they bought the property and have expanded with relationships with growers in nearby hillside areas. They believe that Sonoma (and in particular their area) is perfectly suited for Italian varietals. The thing that is great about their philosophy is that they want to use those varietals, but make then in the style that Sonoma makes distinctive. If you ever get to tasting in the Sonoma area, highly recommend that you make a visit here (book ahead) and make sure to get a jug of fresh filled red. Great for the price!
The Impossibile is not available except to Wine Club members. It is a blend of Montepulciano, Nebbiolo and Sagrantino. This is not a blend you would find in Italy. It has a lovely, floral nose, with deep berry and a hint of classic Montepulciano dust.
The color is a translucent light ruby. The taste is very young, this wine is going to go for awhile. It starts with a burst of blackberry and currant. Then the tannins wash over and carry to a nice finish. This is a nice wine and it will develop much more complexity over the next ten years.
I rate this wine a 93.
The DaVero olive oil is also great, especially the Meyer Lemon infused version.
