Fruit forward and well balanced with aromas and flavors of
raspberries, red licorice, caramel and cocoa. Sangiovese is
well known for its food pairing versatily and pairs well with grilled fish, pork, and wild game.

This vintage is crafted from Sangiovese from our estate vineyard. After the grapes were removed from their stems, they were cold-soaked and then fermented in small, open-top bins; the must was punched down by hand twice a day. The wine was then aged in a mixture of new (33%) and neutral French oak barrels for 15 months.
