This contract was also achieved through endurance, this time the person to beg was owner Dino Amantite, who could finally not resist the call of his Italian heritage.<\/p>\n<p>The Ranch was turned to viticulture in the 1880s by Felice Pagani, Dino&#8217;s grandfather. The vines are head-trained and water preservation is assured through dry-farming.\u00a0 Modern farming techniques are slightly hindered here, due to the narrow spaces between plantings, which is a reminiscence of the times when the vineyard work used to be carried out by the pull of a horse. Each plant is unique, with its own orientation, yield and eventual problematics, and needs to be individually tended to. On our first season working with the Tocai Friulano, Dino&#8217;s mom, Norma, showed Enrico how to properly hand-prune the plants, which she meticulously does every year.<\/p>\n<p>Here the mystic Sonoma Valley is at its maximum splendor, the grape trees surging over red and dusty soil of volcanic composition, washed down from the Sonoma Mountain Range.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arbegarbewines.com\/index.php\/vineyards-caties-corner\/\">Catie&#8217;s Corner<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arbegarbewines.com\/index.php\/vineyards-pagani-ranch\/\">Pagani Ranch<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arbegarbewines.com\/index.php\/vineyards-shypoke-vineyard\/\">Shypoke Vineyard<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arbegarbewines.com\/index.php\/vineyards-tanyas-vineyard\/\">Tanya&#8217;s Vineyard<\/a><br \/>\n<\/em><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We source our Tocai Friulano grapes from Pagani Ranch in the Valley of the Moon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":380,"parent":0,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/template-portfolio.php","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/PecJgW-l","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":740,"url":"https:\/\/www.arbegarbewines.com\/index.php\/arbe-garbe-2017\/","url_meta":{"origin":21,"position":0},"title":"ARBE GARBE 2017","date":"September 7, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Russian River Valley","rel":"","context":"Similar post","img":{"alt_text":"Arbe Garbe 2017 Label","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.arbegarbewines.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/AG2017fRONT-fix.jpg?fit=600%2C800&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":576,"url":"https:\/\/www.arbegarbewines.com\/index.php\/arbe-garbe-2016\/","url_meta":{"origin":21,"position":1},"title":"ARBE GARBE 2016","date":"November 28, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Sonoma Valley","rel":"","context":"Similar post","img":{"alt_text":"Arbe Garbe 2016 Label","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.arbegarbewines.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/AG2016-FrontLabel-SizeFix.jpg?fit=600%2C800&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":1093,"url":"https:\/\/www.arbegarbewines.com\/index.php\/arbe-garbe-2019\/","url_meta":{"origin":21,"position":2},"title":"ARBE GARBE 2019","date":"February 26, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"NEW VINTAGE COMING SOON Russian River Valley","rel":"","context":"Similar post","img":{"alt_text":"Arbe Garbe 2019 -
