2021
Our Sangiovese offers a bouquet reminiscent of holiday cheer; clove-spiced cherry, cranberry compote, roasted figs, and vanilla wafer. On the palate, this wine is structured yet smooth, supported by a lifting acidity. Flavors of crumble-topped Italian plum tart and a hint of caramel sauce flow through the finish.
The 2023 vintage was an overall cooler year with a wet winter including a heavy dusting of snow in vineyards late February. The year progressed with a cold spring, delaying bloom and a cooler than usual summer resulting in a later vintage, the latest we have experienced in the past two decades. These growing conditions produced wines with a brighter fruit profile and added complexity at slightly lower alcohols. The youthful character of the 2023 vintage indicates that these wines will hold exceptional aging potential.
