Patatino 2025
35% Valdiguié, 29% Colombard, 23% Carignan, 12% something secret · California · 193 cases
Patatino brings the refreshment, full stop. A healthy dose of Ricetti Vineyard Valdiguié and Beaujolais Nouveau-style treatment in the cellar yield electric raspberry colors in the glass. Embrace aromas of hibiscus, fir and wild licorice, and let them mingle with blood orange and raspberry leaf tea on the palate. If Post Flirtation Rosé is meant for aperitivo hour, Patatino is for your nightcap—bringing you back to life after a good meal and a night on the town.
750ml, 11% ABV
Enjoy With
A moment in one of those special nights with close friends when you could be either post-gaming or pre-gaming. Either way, the night’s not over and you don’t want the fun to stop.
Drink When
You’ve arrived at the afterparty, and you want a wine that doesn’t feel like wine. You want that wine to contain electrolytes, refresh the palate, and lift the soul. Patatino does two of those three things—no sports mix harmed.
Martha's Notes
This is our fourth Patatino, a wine that first celebrated the birth of my son, August (aka Patatino or “little potato” in Italian grandmother speak). This non-vintage edition is cheerful and unbounded, encouraging us all to set-aside preconceived notions and just play! Using carbonic maceration and co-fermenting red and white grapes from Ricetti's mixed block scream fruit salad, while a touch of 2024 aged Carignan grounds the blend.

A portion of the Valdiguié was co-fermented with Carignan and white Colombard grapes from Ricetti’s mixed block. Roughly one-third Valdiguié, a quarter Colombard, a quarter Carignan, and the balance…something secret. Each lot completed whole cluster, semi-carbonic fermentation in stainless steel tanks and was then aged for 4-16 months in neutral oak barrique and neutral vessels. Unfined. Unfiltered. Sediment expected.
