An Italian-inspired red blend from Alexander Valley took top honors at the 12th annual North Coast Wine Challenge when Trentadue’s 2021 La Storia Cuveé 32 was named Best of the Best.
Calling it a “crowd favorite,” Daryl Groom, chief judge and organizer of the competition, added, “It is the first time we had a wine of this type to win the Best of the Best in the sweepstakes. So, that’s exciting. Normally, it’s a pinot noir or a chardonnay — so it’s really good to have a newcomer.”
The two-day competition concluded Wednesday morning with the announcement of this year’s sweepstakes award-winning wines on Facebook Live.
The 2024 North Coast Wine Challenge top winners are:
– Best of the Best: Trentadue 2021 La Storia Cuveé 32, Alexander Valley (47% sangiovese, 31% merlot, 22% Montepulciano)
