2020 Winemaker Signature V
I’m proud to bring our fourth rendition of the coveted Winemaker Signature bottle and this time it’s waxed in Cobalt Fire Blue, an amazing look for a once in a lifetime wine. We etched, labeled and bottled the most challenging wine bottle in the world! This special bottle is made in Italy and called, “Due Fondos.” The bottle was the winner of Bruni Glass’s annual bottle competition! I call it “The Winemaker Signature” and I plan on hand bottling a limited number of bottles each year.
This wine is the most ageable wine that Sculpterra’s offers! It can age a minimum of 15 years before reaching its tasting pinnacle. I love the challenge in this bottle, each process from harvest to filling the bottles, has taken real creative thought, and this unique wine is crafted like no other. This wine will sell out, pick one up upon release before it’s no more.
This blend features Petite Sirah as the dominant player in this composition. Not only is this Petite Sirah wine enormous in mouthfeel and tannins, but also aged in a NEW Appalachian American Oak barrel; delivering heaps of smoky, spice and earthy notes to this wine. Syrah, aged in a new barrel, a 500L heavy toast Hungarian barrel, offers to the wine vanilla, coco powder and marshmallow. And finally, the Cabernet Franc which aged in a one used French Oak barrel, brings dryness, puckering acidity and length to the wine. The aromas are unique, with Bing-cherry, blackberry, and pomegranate shinning through. Bouquets of white pepper, rosemary, lavender and rose petal follow to the finish. The wine is extremely dark in color, opaque in the glass and rich with layered textures. Decant this wine for the very best tasting experience.

The 2020 vintage marks our fifth vintage for this unparalleled and amazing winemaking and bottling achievement, the 2020 Winemaker Signature Bottle. The etching shows off John Jagger’s Original sculpture entitled “Eternal Flame.” Don Landy, a local wine bottle etcher spent 45 minutes per bottle to mask, sand blast and paint each bottle. This time it is waxed with Fire Engine Red wax, an incredible look for a once in a lifetime wine. Everything with this bottle must be completed by hand and is a serious challenge. We etched, labeled, filled, corked, hand number, signed and waxed each bottle one at a time. It’s safe to say that this bottle is the most challenging wine bottle to work with in the world today! This special bottle is made in Italy and named, “Due Fondos,” the winner of Bruni Glass’s annual bottle competition! I call it “The Winemaker Signature” and I hand bottle a very limited number of bottles each year, with this vintage only 150 bottles were produced. Theses bottles are only available at the tasting room.
