2023 Sangiovese
In the famed Chianti region of Italy, Sangiovese is king, and we fell in love with the varietal when we visited the area many years ago...
Room temperature or with a slight chill, Sangiovese is the perfect wine for any season. Chilling the wine will mellow out the tannins, bringing fruit and floral notes to the front. Serve in a small Bordeaux glass for the ultimate tasting experience. Pronounced "san-jow-vay-zuh".
Our 2023 Sangiovese will have you dreaming of the Tuscan hills, with cherry and cranberry flavors that are fresh and bright along with notes of vanilla, spice and fresh herbs. This is a smooth, supple red with lively acidity and light, well-integrated tannins.
Fruit was sourced from the cooler southern regions of the valley with the right soils and growing conditions for this signature grape.
The dry season resulted in grapes being packed with flavor leading to powerful, concentrated wines. 18 months in French oak barrels, new and seasoned gives the Sangiovese it's red fruit flavor profile.
In 2023, Napa Valley experienced one of the longest growing seasons in a decade or more. Winter and spring rains led to full reservoirs and healthy, saturated soils; ideal conditions as grape growers headed into the peak growing months. With consistent, mild weather throughout the season, above-average crop yields, and extended hang time, 2023 was an exceptional, high-quality, and memorable vintage.
