Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes were fermented together. Cultivated yeasts were used to create bright fruit and spicy flavors of the sangiovese and syrah. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 16 months before being racked, filtered and bottled.
Tasting Notes
This wine has a bright red core. The aromas are clean and elevated. Hints of cherry, earth and spice rise from the glass. The palate is dry, rich and flavorful. The profile of the wine is bright and ripe - cherry, spice, vanilla, cedar - with a complex and smooth lingering finish. This red wine pairs well with roasts, grilled vegetables, pizza, pasta, cheese and chocolate.
