Jupiter Wine Company 'Alla Goccia' White
Jupiter Wine Company 'Alla Goccia' White
Grapes — 58% Bianchetta Trevigiana, 30% Vermentino, 10% Ribolla Gialla, 2% Kerner
Region — Sonoma County, California
Tasting Notes — Pale gold with a lively, aromatic brightness. Lemon verbena, citrus zest, and sea salt on the nose — fresh, herbal, and immediately inviting. The palate is snappy and textured, with green apple, ripe stone fruit, and a saline minerality that gives the whole thing a coastal energy and a clean, mouthwatering finish. This is a white that drinks like a salty breeze off the water — light-footed, focused, and completely impossible to put down.
The Wine — The white counterpart to the Alla Goccia Red, built on the same philosophy: an Italian-inspired field blend of organically farmed varieties that together make something more interesting and alive than any one of them could on their own. Bianchetta Trevigiana brings its characteristic citric acidity and green almond bitterness. Vermentino brings sun-soaked stone fruit and saline minerality. Ribolla Gialla — the ancient white grape of Friuli, documented as far back as 1289 — brings floral lift and structural tension. Kerner ties it all together. The name Alla Goccia — "drop by drop" in Italian — is both a winemaking approach and a philosophy: slow, deliberate, and utterly unhurried.
Farming — Organically farmed. Jupiter sources exclusively from organic growers in alignment with their founding commitment: wines made from organically farmed fruit, with nothing added and nothing taken away.
Winemaking — Minimal intervention from vineyard to bottle. Co-fermented with native vineyard yeasts, unfined and unfiltered, with a small disclosed sulfur addition at bottling per Jupiter's standard transparency protocol. The goal, as always, is to let the varieties and the site do the talking — and to stay out of the way.
The Producer — Jupiter Wine Company was born during a pandemic phone call. Michael Richardson, a 30-year hospitality veteran, got a call from winemaker Thomas DeBiase asking if he'd like to make wine, build affordable housing, and do something that actually meant something. Michael was there the next day. Thomas DeBiase left New Jersey for Sonoma County in 2006, worked across winemaking, restaurant programs, and hospitality, and found his footing at the celebrated Idlewild Wines in Mendocino before casting off corporate wine for good. Their manifesto is unambiguous: the wine industry is built on the labor of immigrant farmworkers paid below living wages and denied basic working conditions. Jupiter's response is direct — 100% of net profits go to affordable housing solutions for the Latinx agricultural and hospitality workers who make wine country possible. The Alla Goccia White is their most accessible expression of that mission — an affordable, honest, organically farmed white wine that tastes like California sunshine channeled through an Italian state of mind.
Drink It With — Grilled clams, fried calamari, a summer antipasto spread, fresh goat cheese, or any warm afternoon that deserves something bright, salty, and effortlessly good.
