Russian Rive Valley, CA

Founded in 2023 by David Drummond alongside winemaker and managing partner
Sam Bilbro, Comunità is a celebration of both the wines of North East Italy by way of
California as well as our amazing estate vineyard, Las Cimas, as seen through this
varietal lense.

Las Cimas sits at in the hills above the Middle Reach of the Russian River Valley and is
home to a staggering array of varietals, many of which are the first varietal plantings
in the New World. The mornings generally start with fog that burns quicker than the
valley below, followed by mountain sunshine before the Pacific sends in daily cooling
winds that sweep across the hillsides in the late afternoons. This unique climate mixed
with the fractured sandstone soils makes for a truly amazing site. Furthermore, Las
Cimas is farmed using organic and regenerative practices to best allow healthy soils
and vines.

Inpired by the reds of Friuli, our 2022 Refosco is picked with the intention of both
optimal ripeness and great balance. The fruit is fermented via native yeast with full
stem inclusion with just light foot treading. After secondary fermentation, the wine
sees ten months of aging in neutral puncheon before blending and bottling.

The 2022 vintage shows scents of dark black fruits, wild savory spice, roasted game
meats, and soil. The palate is rich and condensed with very firm and long acid and
tannin through the finish.
Just 106 cases produced.
