Wine Details
Price:
$27.00 per bottle
Description:
Vibrant notes of raspberry with orange zest penetrate the nose followed by candied pecan and a whiff of wood dust. This Italian “snailion” thunders across the open range kicking up a tingling sensation of cranberry, pomegranate and racy acidity. As the dust of mild dark chocolate settles on the fruited plane behind the distant galloping snail, your bow legged pallet will be yearning for more.

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.
