Wine Details
Price:
$18.00 per bottle
Description:
As we prepared for the crush of our first Sangiovese in 1997 we were convinced that the vinification protocols used by many early California Sangiovese producers did not fit the grape. Vinification of Sangiovese requires a different approach than what we have been used to with our Bordeaux and Rhone varietals. Given the characteristics of the variety we believed that it demanded handling more akin to Pinot Noir and that the use of new oak should be restrained allowing its crisp, bright, fruit character to shine forth. We think you’ll agree when you try this striking ’01 release with its dark ruby color, its richly spiced strawberry aromas, its deep, lingering flavors of cherry and dark plum, and its delightfully crisp finish. We also think you’ll discover with us and our Tuscan friends why Sangiovese has become one of the most deliciously versatile red food wines in the world.
