{"product_id":"montepulcianono-lot-2-ruth-lewandowski-natural-wine","title":"MontepulciaNONO Lot 2 NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eMontepulciaNONO Lot 2 is a non-vintage red wine made from 100% Montepulciano grown at Fox Hill Vineyard on the Talmage Bench in Mendocino County, California. The wine blends multiple harvests of Fox Hill Montepulciano into a single bottling, a format originally designed for kegs served at Pizza Nono, a pizzeria in the Ninth and Ninth neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah. Fox Hill sits at approximately 650 feet elevation on uplifted former Russian River riverbed soils dominated by sandy, rocky clay loam with significant concentrations of gravel, quartz, and sandstone. The vineyard is organically farmed and has been CCOF certified since 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Evan Lewandowski ferments and ages the wine entirely in stainless steel with no additions: no sulfur, no fining agents, no filtration. The result is inky and dark in the glass with an aromatic profile of earth, dark chocolate, and high-toned blackberries. On the palate it turns lighter than the nose suggests, with brambly herbs, a distinct earthy character, and enough acidity to keep the wine fresh despite its concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NV format is intentional: by blending across vintages from the same vineyard, Lewandowski maintains a consistent style from lot to lot while the wine remains true to the Fox Hill site. This is the same table-wine philosophy that inspired its origin as a keg wine, now bottled. Serve slightly chilled, around 55 to 58 degrees Fahrenheit, for maximum freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ruth Lewandowski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37294057783495,"sku":"LEWAMONTNVC","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/ruth-lewandowski-montepulcianono-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630818872","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/montepulcianono-lot-2-ruth-lewandowski-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
