Barbichette Wines, Pinot Noir "Tibo" Seneca Lake, New York 2024

100% Pinot Noir

This wine has range and momentum. You’ll find all the classic notes of an ethereal pinot noir (rose petal, strawberries, black pepper) but with an unexpected liveliness and high toned acidity. It’s the sort of bottle you’d swiftly empty during a rooftop apéro with friends, or fly home to share with family over the holidays.

Whole cluster crush into a large egg for around 14 days of maceration with daily (and gentle) pump-overs as needed. Pressed into neutral oak 18hL cask for the remainder of fermentation and élevage, before bottling in september of 2025. 

Barbichette Wines is the brainchild of César Vega and Louisiane Remy. Based in Brooklyn, NY, the couple have built one of the most successful direct trade coffee businesses in New York over the past decade, Café Integral. Through their work in coffee, César and Louisiane have become mainstays in the New York natural wine and restaurant scene and gained a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of food, wine, and hospitality.
