This Sangiovese is made by softly pressing the berries to avoid the extraction of bitter flavors and tannins. This is a great food wine that shows off Sicily’s enormous potential.

Tasting Notes:

A ruby red wine with red plum and cherry aromas. On the palate, the smooth, easy-drinking red has ripe red fruit, berry and tobacco flavors. It is balanced with good complexity and a silky, fruity finish. A great wine for Italian food; enjoy with pasta, pizza, grilled meat or barbecue, salads, and soft cheeses. Drink now to 2009.
