60% SANGIOVESE / 40% CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Impressively stony aromas of crushed rock meet with bright red fruit and a diligent kiss of wood on the nose of this blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. The palate is soft with strawberry, cherry and cedar flavors that are cut by zesty lemon peel elements.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Bright, smooth, layered with balanced acids and soft tannins. Flavors of dried fruits and sumptuous black cherry define this wine. Enjoy with spicy red meats, tomato based sauces and great friends.
Food Pairing Notes
Spicy foods and sauces pair nicely. Think Bolognese and pasta! We even love broccoli with red pepper flakes.
Production
Punched down three times daily. The wine was pressed slightly sweet with secondary fermentation allowed to complete in barrel. We blended it several times to get the balance just right with the Sangiovese. Like a true Super Tuscan from Italy, Cabernet Sauvignon was blended for strength, color and tannin.
