"Some California winemakers are already working in climates that feel extreme and are adapting to them in innovative, sometimes even radical, ways. Pietro Buttitta, owner of Prima Materia winery, is one such winemaker…The Prima Materia wines are balanced and vibrant. Buttitta’s Grenache is light and bright, tasting like strawberry and basil. A carbonic Nebbiolo recalls rose petals and cranberries. A silky Sangiovese smells like cherries and cigars, with a refreshing bitterness."
