Wine Details
Price:
$24.99 per bottle
Description:
Hill side grapes from a single vineyard produced this fabulous blend. The addition of
Trillium takes this wine to the next level of Greatness! It enhances the color, mouth
feel, middle pallet and finish of the wine. There is herbal, ripe plum/cherry aroma with
overtones of vanilla and spice. This wine is fun to drink now and will benefit from further bottle age if you have the patience to wait.

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.
