Tony Coturri holds the prize at minimo for our “most popular winemaker tasting ever.” It’s no surprise: he’s a legend in the natural wine community. For 40 years on Sonoma Mountain, Tony has been making natural wine in the truest sense. His wines use no cultured yeast, no additives, no SO2 at any stage, and only neutral vessels for aging. He has been steadfast in upholding traditional techniques as taught to him by his father “Red,” who learned from his father Enrico during Prohibition and the Great Depression. He has never compromised, resulting in some of California’s boldest, most authentic wines.

We’re thrilled to welcome Tony back to minimo this Saturday to showcase his new releases! We’ll start with Albarello, a lively, juicy blend of Carignane, Zinfandel, and Barbera sourced from Mendocino. Next up is a blend of Syrah and Merlot from two different vineyard sites, showing smooth, dark fruit. We’ll finish with a rare treat, a Zinfandel from Tony’s estate vineyard, planted in the 1970s, dry farmed and head-pruned in the traditional Italian goblet style. It’s a classic beauty with ripe blueberries and cherries, licorice, and dry finish. We’ll have the tasting flight available all day, with Tony at the shop from 2 to 5pm. Come meet Tony, hear about his history in natural winemaking, and taste some pure California wines!
