Sangiovese is an Italian grape that has found a home in Texas. Our Sangiovese is harvested from Buena Suerte Vineyards in the wind-swept Texas High Plains. We age our Sangiovese in French Oak for nine months to allow the wine to mature gracefully and round out its earthiness and complexity.
Tasting Notes: Strawberry on the nose with tart cherry, earthy palette
Recommended Food Pairings: Paella, short rib ragu, roasted quail, wild boar, Italian food featuring rich marinara.
Recipe of the Month: Pepperoni Bread
