2021 Sangiovese
NEW RELEASE
Sangiovese is to Chianti as Cabernet Sauvignon is to Bordeaux; that is to say, it is molto importante. The Latin origin of this varietal name, Sanguis Jovis, literally means “blood of Jove.” Jove is a euphemism for Jupiter, who was the supreme deity of the ancient Romans, god of sky and thunder. So, when you lift a glass of Sangiovese, you could say, “By Jove, I bloody well love this wine!” as a charming toast to history. Anyhoo, enough about mythology, on to the wine.
Our 2021 Sangiovese is a rich, medium-bodied wine with soft tannins and a bright acidity. This vintage boasts aromas of black cherry, raspberry and currant, complemented by hints of rose petal and soft integrated oak. It is quite food-friendly and pairs especially well with savory Italian dishes, such as pasta with tomato sauce, risotto, and pizza. Salute!
