Sonoma Based 3 Badge Beverage Corp. Announces Release of New Wine Label
SONOMA, Calif. (May 7, 2024) — Subterra Wines, the latest addition to wine and spirits négociant 3 Badge Beverage Corporation, today announced the release of its inaugural vintage – the 2022 Los Olivos District Pinot Noir with an SRP of $23/750 ml. Sourced from fruit in the Los Olivos District, a subregion of the Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Barbara County, this 100 percent Pinot Noir wine features a light and fruit-forward profile.
“The addition of Subterra Wines allows us to broaden our portfolio and offerings to wine consumers,” said 3 Badge President, August Sebastiani, a fourth-generation vintner. “In true négociant form, we navigate the wine industry to curate unearthed wine offerings from various regions as a result of our longstanding grower relationships. We are thrilled to share our first offering from the Central Coast.”
Inspired by the family’s rich history of carting cobblestones to San Francisco in the early 1900s, an illustrated barn made from stone set in wine country is featured on the label. The silvery gold foil used to highlight Subterra is reminiscent of the thin metallic flecks you might find in masonry stones.
The 2022 Los Olivos District Pinot Noir entices the nose with sweet aromatics of red maraschino cherry and licorice underscored by freshly cracked pepper and savory vegetal notes.
With a light, fruit-forward tasting profile this wine perfectly complements barbecued pulled pork sandwiches adorned with cranberry sauce or a decadent treat of chocolate-covered strawberries.
Subterra curates wines that reveal rich flavors and nuances of highly sought-after, meticulous vineyards. Subterra Wines Pinot Noir is nationally available and is produced by Sonoma-based 3 Badge Beverage Corp., established in 2015 by fourth-generation vintner, August Sebastiani.
