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

"he grapes were gently de-stemmed, retaining the integrity of the whole berries, then hand-sorted for gravity filling into the fermentor. Fermentation temperatures were kept at modest levels to retain brighter aromatics and flavors with less astringent tannins. The wine received ten-day extended maceration and was then gravity-drained directly into French oak barrels.Gently racked for natural clarification, this wine was bottled refined and unfiltered in March 2005.
