I first encountered Giornata's wines at Oakland's Boot and Shoe (a trendy restaurant that's an offshoot of Temescal favorite Pizzaiola) and wrote about them here.
Now today's Chronicle has an article featuring new wine finds across the state, and Giornata's flag is flying high.
Says Jon Bonne, "the rich calcium soils help retain freshness in their Nebbiolo, an improbable choice even for west-side Paso, but one they have made perfumed and subtle, with the tarry edge that's in classic Barbaresco."
Nuff said!
Here's their site where you can order up a bottle.
