Section Wines

Italian whites from Santa Barbara County's cool maritime climate.

Section Wines operates in Santa Barbara County, where the Central Coast's maritime influence shapes cool-climate viticulture. The winery focuses on white varieties, particularly Italian and Mediterranean grapes suited to the region's conditions. Tierra Alta Vineyards Arneis, a single-varietal expression, demonstrates the winery's commitment to Arneis—a delicate, mineral-driven grape from Piedmont. Vermentino, another Italian white, rounds out the portfolio with its own coastal character. Il Bianco, a blend of Arneis and Grenache Blanc, shows how Section Wines approaches the interplay between these complementary varieties. Each wine reflects the precision required to work with aromatic, lower-alcohol whites in a region known for balancing ripeness with acidity.
