Accenti Wines is a family-owned California producer founded by James and Lorenza Allen, working with organically and regeneratively farmed vineyards in Napa Valley and across Northern California. The Allens farm tiny sites with no tractor, irrigation, or soil disruption, while also partnering with like-minded growers in regions including Mendocino, Alexander Valley, Lodi, and Sonoma. Their site-focused wines highlight heritage and Italian varieties, including Barbera and Verdelho, alongside ancestral-method sparkling wines. Winemaking is minimal-intervention, favoring spontaneous native-yeast fermentation, whole-cluster practices, foot treading, low extraction, restrained oak, and minimal sulfur, with no added yeast, bacteria, tannins, or enzymes. The wines are made in very small lots, including under the ThereAfter label for early experimental vintages.
