ABOUT THIS WINE
Founded in 2005 by winemaker David Rossi, Fulcrum Wines takes its name from the lever's pivot point—symbolizing the winemaker's focus on achieving harmony between structure, fruit, and acidity. Sourced from cool-climate vineyards across California's Sonoma Coast AVA, the fruit benefits from coastal fog and oceanic breezes that promote gradual ripening while preserving vital freshness.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Harvested early at moderate sugar levels to protect natural acidity, the Pinot Noir grapes undergo gentle direct pressing to extract light color and delicate tannins. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to retain primary fruit purity, followed by short maturation in stainless steel or neutral vessels without oak intervention.
