Mandolina Sangiovese,

Mandolina Sangiovese, Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: Sangiovese is steadily gaining a foothold in California where the cooler climate locations, like our Los Alamos Vineyard, are proving to be the most promising. We thinned the crop heavily to ensure proper ripening and fine, deep color. Fermentation was conducted in small, 1 1/2 ton fermenters with the floating cap punched down several times each day during a two week period. Aging was in French oak barrels for 18 months. Distinguished by aromas of wild strawberries, tea, and leather with flavors of wild cherry and anise, this wine will enhance Italian and Mediterranean cuisine.
