Sofia Rivier, Winemaker and Vineyard Manager at the Ettore and Terra Savia wineries, takes Wine Across America on a journey to California. From organic vineyards to an on-site animal sanctuary, Sofia walks us through her wines and her commitment to sustainability. We taste a crisp Chardonnay, a vibrant rosé, a bold red blend, and a signature Cab – all rooted in Mendocino and shaped by Sofia’s heritage and vision.
