Wine Details
Price:
$29.00 per bottle
Description:
"In the glass, this wine displays a beautiful ruby red color with a medium density. The nose shows a stylishly clean, pure expression of Sangiovese. The lush entry marries with a crisp acidity resulting in a fullness that is accentuated by fruit. The fruit flavors include red raspberry, stone fruits and cranberry. Complementary cola spice and floral blossom aromas play off the core characteristics perfectly". - Ashley Heisey

Varietal Definition
Sangiovese:
Sanguis Jovis, the Latin origin for the varietal name, literally means “blood of Jove.” Sangiovese is one of the oldest known varietals and it is likely that ancient Etruscan winemakers cultivated it, although the first literary reference to Sangiovese was in 1722. Sangiovese is probably indigenous to Tuscany, whose most famous wine is Chianti. Chianti is a blend that currently contains a minimum of 90% Sangiovese.Sangiovese thrives in hot dry climates. Because these climatic criteria generally enhance quantity, rather than quality, it takes careful cultivation and winemaking techniques to produce really excellent wine from this grape.
