Clarissa is named after Clarissa’s Vineyard,
one of the twenty vineyards that made up the original
Tizzana Estate. Dr. Thomas Fiaschi grew Hermitage
(Shiraz) and Petit Verdot grapes in this vineyard
which he named after his first daughter born in 1885.
The 2009 Clarissa is a a dry red blend made from hand-picked Petit Verdot (60%) and Shiraz (40%) grapes. Aged in American oak for 18 months. |
| Tasting Notes: |
The aroma of the wine shows pepper and plum notes with toasted oak characters. A medium bodied wine with an excellent integration of both grape and oak tannins. Will benefit with at least three to five years of cellaring. |
