Casa Piena

Thomas Brown is renowned for his ABC style of winemaking. He believes that you must first find the special piece of ground that can provide you with the quality of fruit that will enable the winemaker to craft a great product. The next step is to guaranty that the farming methods used are creative, intelligent, updated and sustainable for the vineyard and its neighbors. Lastly, he employs a minimalist approach to handling the juice even when he is applying his fine artistic touch. This allows the DNA of the terroir to express itself. His unique philosophy embodies old world indulgence of the dirt with a blend of new world efficiency and execution when crafting the wine. He seems to have achieved the same perfect balance in his performance as exists in the wines that he creates.
