Savoy Vineyard

Anderson Valley

What attracted Littorai to this area of Savoy is an old world notion that the best parcels within a vineyard lie at the toe of the slope. Adding to this is the complexity of the clones within Savoy. This is the only valley floor vineyard that we work with anywhere. Our rows are located at the base of the hills on the northeastern side of the Anderson Valley. While this is the cooler end of the valley, the vineyard is protected on two sides, trapping more warmth than most of the neighboring sites. Littorai has been the longest purchaser of Savoy fruit since 1995. This vineyard is farmed using only organic materials, not certified.
