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
Brimming with red berry fruit, cocoa and warm cedary notes, our Sangiovese is made from grapes grown in Mendocino by third-generation vineyard owner Bob Gibson. This wine exhibits a great balance of ripe fruit, tannin and fresh acidity. Our Sangiovese complements a wide range of foods with a particular affinity for tomato-based pasta dishes.AppellationMendocino100% SangioveseAlcohol 14.1%pH 3.90TA .51Barrel Aging8 Months40% new French oak & 10% new American oakProduction 1,335 CasesReleased Summer 2008
