Wine of the Month for September 2016

winery of the month for september 2016
Oliver’s welcomes Noceto Winery
as our winery of the month.
Noceto is nestled in the beautiful Sierra Foothills in Amador County, east of Sacramento. We invite
you to join Noceto Winery at The Tavern Off The Green in our Windsor store on Friday September
9th from 5-7 PM to taste their beautifully crafted wines and get to know their story.
Jim and Suzy Gullett had always wanted country property – a getaway where they could eventually
retire and grow a few acres of grapes. Suddenly, they were blessed with twenty acres of prime
grape-growing property in the middle of one of the oldest viticulture areas in the country.
They quickly understood that their property’s potential was greatest for warm weather, red wine
grapes. So, for the next year they undertook the task of sampling southern Rhone and northern
Tuscan varietals every night. With a predisposition toward being different and an emerging consumer
interest in everything Italian, the Gulletts decided to focus on Sangiovese, a far-cry from the
Zinfandel vineyards that surrounded them. Many of their neighbors thought they were nuts. But, the
Gulletts had fallen in love with the grape and were confident that their passion for Sangiovese
combined with the right location would bring success.
On their nearly forty acres they now have twenty-five acres of grapes, almost all Sangiovese, five acres
of olive trees, 200 lilac bushes, and two acres of walnut trees. Buildings include their 1887 renovated
ranch house, winery and tasting room buildings, and several rustic barns and out-buildings. From
only 110 cases of Sangiovese in its inaugural 1990 vintage, the winery now produces 10,000 cases of
wine annually.
The Gulletts strive to produce the highest quality wine possible each vintage and it shows in every
bottle produced. It's time to get to know this little slice of Italy in Amador County.
Wine of the Month for September 2016
Noceto Pinot Grigio - 2014, Clarksburg
“Noceto sources their Pinot Grigio from Clarksburg, the perfect region for growing this
variety. Dry, crisp and aromatic with lemon, lime, apple, white peach, and a touch of
minerality on the finish. An easy- drinking, versatile and food friendly wine, it begs to be
paired with shellfish, fresh seafood, salads and light pasta dishes.”
$12.99 a bottle, regularly $14.99
