Tre Gatti Quality Begins in the Vineyard

There are several categories of wines.  Incredible wines are those we might have the opportunity to drink only once or twice in a lifetime. Memorable wines are those we choose to save for very special occasions.   Most of us drink premium wines when we have friends for dinner and everyday wines are just as their name implies…those we drink on an everyday basis.   

At Tre Gatti, our goal is to make memorable wines………and memorable wines begin in the vineyard.  Our choice of varietal was driven by our desire to produce grapes having great concentration, intensity and a true sense of terrior.

This principle compelled us to plant only the number of vines we could realistically manage and personally care for, because we belive no one cares for our grapes the way we do!

We strive to maintain quality in every vineyard activity.

 
   
PRUNING
  Hand pruning allows us to pay particular attention to the individuality and needs of each vine.    
                 
   
THINNING
  Bunch thinning and shoot thinning assures that each vine carries only the optimum number of clusters.    
                 
   
IRRIGATION
  Drip irrigation assures the vines receive enough moisture for good health, but not enought to produce excess canopy.    
                 
   
VERASION
  Frequent testing after verasion assures the grapes are picked at the optimum ripeness.    
                 
 
HARVEST
Quality control during harvest assures that only the best clusters go to the winemaker.
