Vintage 2025 was the first harvest from the newly re-developed Mitchell Vineyard. Home to the Bettinelli family, the site where Giancarlo grew up, the ground-up redesign of this vineyard will realize the potential of this uncommon site. With a myriad of soil types, aspects and elevations, we are excited to accompany this site on its journey to being a key contributor to Accendo. While most of the sixteen small blocks are dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, we are also excited for the Sauvignon Musqué and Sémillon planted here as well.
