| Taste the Local Wines of Cima
Collina |
 |
|
Cima Collina produces artisan wines from
small Monterey vineyards. The idea of an “artisan wine” is the
partnership with growers who meticulously cultivate vineyards,
the insistence on using only carefully chosen fruit, and the
creation of wine on a barrel-by-barrel basis.
The focus on Monterey vineyards is an
acknowledgement that this region is now and will continue to
produce wines that are interesting, compelling and unique.
Many factors conspire to make this a truly gifted region for
growing grapes, from the cool maritime climate, well-drained
soils and the energy of our winemaking colleagues a dynamic
renaissance is currently underway in our region.
We invite you try the wines of Cima
Collina as well as the other wines of the Monterey Wine
Country we are confident will meet your highest
expectations.
Sign up now, you won't want to miss
this one!
