Jupiter Wine Company 'Alla Goccia' Red
Grapes — Sangiovese, Primitivo, Montepulciano, Bianchetta, Aglianico
Region — Sonoma County, California
Tasting Notes — Bright, unfiltered, and alive. Red cherry, wild strawberry, and blood orange peel on the nose, with a whisper of fresh herbs and wet stone underneath. The palate is juicy and crunchy — lightly tannic, refreshingly bright, with a spice-threaded finish that lingers without weight. This is a chillable, versatile red with a genuine pulse. The kind of bottle that disappears faster than you planned for.
The Wine — An Italian-style field blend of five heritage varietals — Sangiovese, Primitivo, Montepulciano, Bianchetta, and Aglianico — co-fermented together from organically farmed vineyards in Sonoma County. "Alla Goccia" means drop by drop in Italian — a deliberate nod to slow, intentional, minimal-intervention winemaking. Native yeast fermentation only. Unfiltered. The name is both a method and a philosophy.
Farming — Certified organic. Sourced from organically farmed Sonoma County vineyards whose growers share Jupiter's commitment to clean farming without synthetic inputs.
Winemaking — Co-fermented with native yeasts, minimal intervention throughout, unfiltered before bottling. No additions, no corrections. The winemaking philosophy at Jupiter is disarmingly straightforward: work with healthy, organically grown fruit, get out of the way, and let the wine speak.
The Producer — Jupiter Wine Company was born during a pandemic phone call. Michael Richardson, a hospitality industry veteran who had spent nearly 30 years in Las Vegas, got a call from his friend and co-conspirator Thomas DeBiase asking if he'd like to make some wine, build some affordable houses, and do something that actually meant something. Michael was there the next day. A few months later, after crushing his first vintage, he sold his house in Vegas and moved his family to Sonoma. Thomas DeBiase, the winemaker, made his own leap years earlier — leaving New Jersey for Sonoma County in 2006 and working across winemaking, restaurant wine programs, and hospitality before finding his footing at Idlewild Wines in 2018 and ultimately casting off corporate wine for good. The mission of Jupiter Wine Company is as clear as it is rare: 100% of profits generated go directly to affordable housing solutions for the agricultural and hospitality workers who make wine country possible — the people corporate sustainability programs endlessly celebrate and consistently underserve. Buying this bottle is a genuinely small act with a genuinely meaningful consequence.
Drink It With — Pizza, pasta, a generous antipasto spread, grilled sausages, a picnic, or any occasion that calls for an honest, delicious red and a good conversation about what wine is actually for.
