Marchetti Wines are made in the tradition of the Old World, without the use of chemicals or preservatives. A process of natural fermentation is used, and the flavors are purely from the grapes themselves and the oak barrels in which the wine is made and aged. Marchetti Wines are free-run, hand crafted and unfiltered. The flavors vary according to the varietal and year, but are always full bodied “Big Reds.” |

Winemaker Rich Marchetti
|
This method of natural fermentation has been passed through five generations of the winemaker’s family, and the label reflects that history. The sketch of the gentleman with the mustache is taken from a photo of the winemaker’s maternal grandfather, Joseph,who traveled from his native Rome, Italy, in pursuit of Maria, the woman who would be his wife. The monument in the sketch is part of the seawall in the Bay of Messina, Sicily, the home of the winemaker’s father. The winemaker grew up in Washington State observing and learning the Old World method of wine making from these two men and from an uncle from Venice. | |||||||

2009 Zinfandel
chewy to the point of nearly needing a knife and fork! The origins of this grape are misty, but DNA profiling has identified Zinfandel as a clone of the Croatian variety Crijenak and the genetic twin of the Italian Primitivo. If you’ve never had an Old Vine wine, this is truly an experience! Medal winner 2008, 2009 |
