WHAT IS NON-ALCOHOLIC WINE?

There are  several  types of  'non-alcoholic wines'  on the  market. Some are  grape juice that has never  been fermented,  others are  wine proxies (i.e. teas, vinegars, herbs that aremeant  to  mimic the flavors of wine). Many are 'alcohol-removed' or 'dealcoholized' wines, including Sovi, meaning it starts with real wine then the alcohol is removed.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Every great wine starts in the vineyard, including Sovi. We partner directly with a multi-generational family-owned winery and we work closely with the vineyard manager  and  winemaker  to  create rich and expressive wines. Our goal is to create a quality wine which, when the alcohol is removed, results in the best possible non-alcoholic wine.

HOW IS IT MADE?

  1. We start by making traditional
  2. Next, we remove the alcohol with a technology  called vacuum distillation. We distill the wine at a low temperature in a vacuum to keep as many aromas and flavors as This gently boils off the alcohol, resulting in an alcohol-removed wine.
  3. Then we blend in a minimal amount of grape juice concentrate to get the exact balance we're looking Think of it like a dosage in Champagne.
  4. Finally, we add bubbles and put it into cans.

WHERE IS CLARKSBURG, CA?

An often-overlooked region, Clarksburg is about 40 miles east of Napa on the Sacramento River Delta. The climate there is perfect for growing characterful grapes: warm sunny days result in beautifully ripe flavors while the cool breezes off the San Pablo Bay help the grapes maintain their naturally crisp acidity.

WHY CANS?

  1. They are more recyclable and eco-friendly than traditional glass wine
  2. Single-serving size- no need to open a whole bottle if only 1 or 2 in a group is drinking NA wine!
  3. They are convenient- perfect for on-the-go occasions
