Sangiovese

16138 visitors

Sangiovese is a red wine grape variety originating in Italy. It is most famous as the main component of the Chianti blend in Tuscany, but winemakers outside Italy are starting to experiment with it. Young sangiovese has fresh fruity flavours of strawberry and a little spiciness, but it readily takes on oaky, even tarry, flavours when aged in barrels.

More information on Sangiovese

Food Pairing: Pairs well with pizza, steak, lamb and game meats, spicy cappelini puttanesca or any tomato based pastas.

2002 Sangiovese

Sangiovese (Sawn-geo-vese) is a light red Italian varietal, usually blended with Barbera, and Nebbiolo to produce a Chianti wine blend. When produced on it's own it produces a lig ...moreht red wine with solid tannins and sharp acids. This Sangiovese displays nice strawberry and earthy characters, with a pleasant soft body. The perfect red wine for the non-red wine drinker, or those times when a big red wine isn't suitable. Enjoy with any pasta, red sauce, or sun dried tomatoes.

2003 Estate Sangiovese
Sonoma Valley

The process to make this 2003 Estate Sangiovese started at harvest with the selection of very ripe fruit. These flavors are still very pronounced in the bottle. In addition, aromas ...more of rose petals, coffee, cedar and dark chocolate are combined with this big, luscious fruit, spice, and balanced oak. Food pairings range from Charcuterie and mature cheese plates, gourmet pizzas, beef, seasoned pork, and zest sauces. This is not a light wine by any means; 3-5 years of aging is recommended. All grapes were estate grown and no commercial pesticides used during growing season.

2005 Sangiovese
Pope Valley

Our Sangiovese comes from our Cypress Ranch vineyard in Pope Valley. Sangiovese, as a varietal, is a vigorous vine and will tend to set more fruit than it can ripen properly, so th ...moree vines get thinned throughout the growing season in order to concentrate the flavors in the remaining fruit. The vineyard is on a sloping hillside with ample sunshine, regional traits that the Italians look for when planting Sangiovese.

2005 Rosato

We decided to make a dry Rose for the first time from our 2005 harvest. We immediately pressed the juice off a small lot of Sangiovese grapes as they came into the winery during cr ...moreush and used a few barrels of the red Sangiovese to give it a beautiful rose/salmon tint before bottling. This wine is refreshing and full of fruit â€“strawberries on the nose with delicious flavors of strawberries and cranberries on the palate and finish. With little residual sugar, this dry wine is perfect for sipping at those backyard barbeques this spring and summer, pairing delightfully with almost anything you can cook up on the grill.

2004 Laraine Sangiovese

A number of years ago, Gerber Vineyards began shifting the emphasis of growing Chardonnay to growing red varietals. After comparing our growing season conditions to other parts of ...morethe world, we surmised that although we have cool nights due to our elevation, our warm and sometimes hot summer days may best lend themselves to varietals which are planted in the Mediterranean regions of Europe.

The 2004 Laraine Sangiovese is blended with small quantities of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon to increase its color, density and structure. It is a lively wine which will accompany grilled meats and fish. I suggest you chill the wine slightly and enjoy it while cooking.

2005 Private Reserve Sangiovese
Santa Clara Valley

The Guglielmo family proudly offers this Cal-Italia wine in celebration of the rich Old World winemaking tradition. The Sangiovese is the predominate grape variety used to produce ...morethe Italian Chianti Classicos. After a bit of aeration, the 2005 vintage opens with an earthy, dark fruit character set within a background of incense-like spices. On the palate the dark fruit characters develop and evolve - complementing an array of anise, allspice, cola and cedar.

WINEMAKERS NOTES:
Produced from two distinct vineyards located within the western foothills of Santa Clara Valley, the 2005 Private Reserve Santa Clara Valley Sangiovese exhibits an alluring fruit-forward style. For additional complexity and to soften the acidity we blended in 15% 2005 Santa Clara Valley Merlot. The production of the 2005 vintage yielded approximately 660 cases.

2004 LMR Sangiovese "Peter's Vineyard"

This wine has a youthful, brilliant ruby color in the glass and is a riper version of LMR's Sangiovese. But, it still has plenty of vibrancy and varietal acidity. The red fruits of ...more cherry plums and black cherry are complemented by sweet spiciness, minerals, dried orange peel, leather and cocoa powder.
