What to Expect

Sangiovese's claim to fame is its role as the heart of Chianti, Brunello and many Super Tuscan wines though it is gaining ground as a varietal wine around the globe. When grown in a suitable location the grape's soft tannins, succulent acidity and moderately intense cherry and herb flavors make Sangiovese very easy to drink as well as supremely versatile at the dinner table.

Winemakers Notes

Characteristics: Vino Nobile is garnet red in colour; its bouquet is delicate and intense, with a slight scent of violet; the taste is dry with a hint of tannic.

Serving suggestions: this important wine is ideal with roast and grilled meat, game and mature cheeses.

Cheese Pairings: Fontina Val d'Osta, Grana Padano, Grated Parmigiano, Parmigiano Reggiano

Food Pairings: Grilled Meats, Roast Quail, Roast Beef and Arugula Crostini with Olive Red Pepper Relish

Prunolo gentile at it's best. This Sangiovese clone has never tasted smoother, lusher or richer in mineral earth flavors a real joy.

This rich red wine is full of blackberries, smoke, fresh tobacco, and violet. An intense bottling with present but approachable tannins, this is ideal with grilled meats and mature cheeses. Made in the area of Montepulciano, located 75 miles southeast of the city of Florence, this accomplished and complex creation is based on Prugnolo Gentile, the local Sangiovese clone.

"Raspberry, flowers and mineral on the nose and palate. Full bodied, turning a little jammy and raisiny. Shows loads of new oak. A New World style. Drink now.." WS 10/08.
