Brick red in color with aromas of dried orange peel, cedar and ripe dark cherries capture this classic old world style Sangiovese. Polished tannins and a prolonged lingering finish reveal hints of cedar, ripe boysenberries and vanilla. Pair this wine with classic pasta dishes with a bold tomato sauce.
Winemaker's Notes
The grapes were hand picked at perfect ripeness and full of flavor than sorted and crushed / de stemmed. Fermentation took place in small 1 ton bins and the wines were fermented to dryness. The wine was aged for 15 months in small American Oak Barrels. This blend consists of 100% French Oak.
