Winemaking

Each VINEYARD site asks different questions.

“In wine, there are no nevers and no always.” Tony Biagi

Led by winemaker Tony Biagi and associate winemaker Adrien Halpin, NEOTEMPO interprets each vineyard and vintage on its own terms. Rather than impose a fixed house recipe, we seek to understand what is distinctive about every site and vintage and then make the decisions that allow its character to emerge with clarity.

Respect for Site

Each wine begins with the character and potential of its vineyard. Soil, elevation, exposure, climate, vine material, and farming history inform how we approach every site.

Vine-Level Attention

We farm each vineyard as a mosaic of smaller parcels, responding to variation from block to block, row to row, and vine to vine rather than treating the site as a single uniform piece of land.

Parcel-by-Parcel Harvest

Harvest decisions are guided by flavor, texture, physiological maturity, and the progression of each parcel. This allows different sections of a vineyard to be picked at the moment that best preserves their individual expression.

Cellar Interpretation

Fermentation, extraction, barrel selection, toast, élevage, and blending are adapted to the site and vintage. Each choice is made to build structure and refinement without obscuring the wine’s origin.

Our approach marries technology-enabled innovation with artisanal expertise. Technology brings greater precision, continuity, and insight to the vineyard and cellar, while the final decisions remain grounded in taste, judgment, intuition, and experience.

The objective is not uniformity. Each wine should retain its own identity—expressing the place where it was grown, the conditions of its vintage, and a shared NEOTEMPO perspective defined by balance, clarity, and the capacity to evolve.

KIATRA Estate

Elegance. Balance. Quiet Power.

Our flagship estate Cabernet Sauvignon from the cooler southern reaches of Napa Valley, crafted in very small quantities as the purest expression of our three-acre KIATRA Estate. Planted in 2012 and precision farmed vine by vine, the estate brings together three Cabernet Sauvignon clones—412, 685, and 338—to capture the distinctive character of this singular site.

Smart Packaging

Designed with purpose.

NEOTEMPO approaches packaging through the same lens that guides our farming: precision, beauty, responsibility, and long-term stewardship.

Our patented hexagonal bottle is made entirely from post-consumer recycled glass. Its sculptural form gives NEOTEMPO a distinctive identity while reducing material use, shipping weight, and the impact of moving wine from our cellar to your table.

Recycled by Design

Made from 100% post-consumer recycled glass, transforming existing material into a distinctive luxury bottle.

Form with Function

Our patented hexagonal form combines visual identity, structural durability, and more efficient packing.

A Lighter System

A lighter bottle and thoughtfully designed packaging reduce the weight and resources required for shipping.

Nature · Art · Science

Light enters the prism. Perspective changes.

The same is true of great wine. With every swirl, every sip, and every conversation, another layer emerges—a new aroma, a different texture, a fresh perspective.

The Hidden Art of Wine

In the spirit of exploring the connection between nature, art, and science, we are proud to share microscopic photographs of crystals formed from NEOTEMPO wines across our portfolio and vintages.

Since 2021, we have partnered with internationally recognized nature photographer and researcher Dr. Robert Berdan to explore new methods for forming and photographing crystals from our wines. Working in his laboratory, Dr. Berdan has continued to refine the process, creating a growing visual archive that reveals another dimension of each wine and vintage.

Much like a fingerprint, every crystal is unique, with its own patterns, textures, and colors. These images offer a rare opportunity to experience our wines through both taste and sight—and to discover the hidden natural beauty within every bottle.

Dr. Berdan is a remarkable artist, researcher, and generous teacher. He has written an illuminating article exploring the photographic process, the history of crystal imaging, and his ongoing collaboration with NEOTEMPO. His original work is also available through his website.
