Overview
Sangiovese, Italy's top varietal, is the backbone of Chianti, covering 247,000 acres, or 10% of the country's wine grape crop. Thriving in hot, dry climates like Tuscany, it requires careful cultivation and winemaking to achieve excellence.
Our first vintage of Sangiovese in 2004 was a success, confirming that consumers recognize top-quality wines.
Sangiovese offers a fruity flavor profile with moderate to high acidity, ranging from firm to robust, with a finish that may lean towards bitterness. Aromas can include hints of strawberry, blueberry, floral notes, or plum.
The Taste
AROMA: A pretty aroma of lilac, red Jubes, cranberry, blueberry and liqueur cherry with notes of ‘Red Skins’, truffle, choc mint and coffee.
PALATE: A medium weight wine which displays both sweet fruit and savoury flavours. Sour cherry, red fruits, turned earth and tapenade are most prominent with notes of dark chocolate, licorice and bay leaf. It is a complex savoury style wine with noticeable chalky tannin that complements Mediterranean food perfectly.
