MORE INFORMATION
Todd Hamina was winemaker at Maysara Winery, home of Momtazi Vineyard, in 2005 and 2006. The 2007 Biggio Hamina Momtazi Pinot noir benefits from his precious experience. Working with Momtazi fruit, Todd found the wines from the vineyard to tend towards the tannic side. He used whole cluster fermentation and specific punchdown methods to soften the tannins and produce a silky and supple wine.
