Massican 'Annia', Napa Valley, USA 2024

“Annia” 2024 (Napa Valley, USA) is a flagship white blend from winemaker Dan Petroski, made in a distinctly Cal-Italian style meaning California fruit shaped by Northern Italian inspiration. It’s a blend of Ribolla Gialla, Tocai Friulano, Chardonnay, and Pinot Bianco, sourced from cool vineyard sites across Napa and Sonoma and fermented separately before blending. The style is deliberately light on its feet: low alcohol (~11.8%), high acidity, and very minimal new oak.

In the glass, it’s typically bright and aromatic, showing lemon zest, pear, citrus blossom, and stone fruit, with a strong saline, stony edge. The palate is lean but layered more about precision and texture than weight or richness.

Overall, it’s a modern California white that drinks like a cross between Friuli and coastal Burgundy: fresh, mineral, and food-friendly, with a focus on tension and clarity rather than overt ripeness.
