The 2021 Bitrittesi Wood Valley Vineyard Chardonnay is pure Sonoma Valley charm—golden fruit, hillside energy, and just the right touch of warmth. Alluring aromas of sun-kissed grapes open into yellow apple, brioche, mango, and a whisper of pine needle. Eleven months in neutral French oak keeps the fruit shining, while the texture walks that ideal line: a gentle viscosity balanced by minerality and layered complexity. Dijon clones from the hillside bring structure and depth; the valley-floor Wente clone adds a sweet Meyer lemon lift. The lip-smacking finish keeps the flavors humming long after each sip.
Named for winemaker Tyler Martin’s Italian grandparents from Bitritto, Bitrittesi reflects Tyler’s vineyard-first, low-intervention approach honed at Vineyard 29 and CADE. With the pristine 2021 season delivering exceptional fruit, he’s crafted a Chardonnay that’s vibrant, expressive, and impossible to put down.
A beautifully balanced, fruit-forward Sonoma Chardonnay—grab a few bottles before it disappears.
