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.

Bright ruby-red. The bouquet is vinous and fragrant with violets and iris scents and hints of vanilla. The taste is dry, fine and full, pleasantly fruity with an elegant aftertaste of raspberries and almonds. Food pairings: Veal, pork, pizza, pasta in meat sauce.

There's an old-school feel to the savory, tarry tannins in this wine. Balanced by a bright cherry flavors, this is a satisfying pour for a sausage and mushroom pizza. -Wines & Spirits Bright ruby-red.
