2023 Sangiovese
Aged for 15 months in a blend of 15% French, 5% Hungarian, and 5% American oak, this Sangiovese balances vibrant fruit with subtle oak influence. The nuanced barrel aging enhances structure and depth while preserving the wines fresh red fruit character and signature savory undertones. 700 cases produced.
Tasting Notes
Bright and expressive, this Sangiovese opens with notes of red currant, raspberry, and Bing cherry, layered with hints of sweet balsamic and savory herbs. On the palate, chalky tannins frame a core of strawberry essence, leading to a clean, dry finish that lingers with elegance. A beautifully balanced red with both freshness and complexity.
Food Pairings
This Sangiovese pairs beautifully with tomato-based dishes like pasta marinara or pizza Margherita, as well as venison sausage and eggplant primavera. Its bright acidity and savory notes complement rich, herbaceous, and umami-driven flavors.
