Sangiovese Napa Valley

Sangiovese Napa Valley Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: 2003 marks the first year of producing a 100% estate grown and bottled Sangiovese. The vines, planted in 1997, have finally matured to the point where we no longer depend on outside sources for fruit. With over 16 different clones planted on our estate in St. Helena, we are confident in our ability to grow great Sangiovese in Napa Valley. Thinning the crop to one cluster per shoot continues to provide low quantity, but high quality fruit. Gravity and hand operations typify the vinification methods that have been employed since 1995. Open-topped French oak fermentors provide temperamental, but effective vessels for extraction of maximum flavor and texture from the fruit.
