Winemaker Bill Nachbaur & Clay Mauritson Notes
This wine offers rustic yet rich characteristics of a classic Sangiovese. Aromas of seductive vanillin toasty oak mingled with subtle cranberry and pomegranate and a slight mineral essence. gentle tannins and firm acidity frame delicious flavors of spice cherry and earth notes. Lingering Mocha and Vanilla, with just a touch of orange, finishes the wine.
Perfect with grilled sausages, onions, and peppers served over creamy polenta, or ideal for your next pizza party.
