Description

Bichi No Sapiens 2023 is a dry red wine from a single dry-farmed vineyard in San Antonio de las Minas, Ensenada, Baja California Norte, made from 69-year-old, head-pruned, own-rooted vines on sandy loam and granite soils at 1,066 feet, close to the Pacific Ocean. The variety planted in the 1940s from Italian cuttings was unidentified for decades and is now understood to be Dolcetto. Noel Téllez of Bichi hand-harvests the grapes and ferments them whole-cluster with wild yeasts for 15 days. Bichi No Sapiens 2023 is aged in stainless steel, then bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without any added sulfites. 13% ABV. Baja California, Mexico.
