2008 Sangiovese
Alegria Vineyards Russian River Valley
$28
A single-vineyard field blend of 98% Sangiovese (7 different clones) with 1% Canaiolo and 1% Mammolo.
Tasting Notes: This wine offers the engaging and rich characteristics of a classic Sangiovese. Aromas of seductive vanillin toasty oak mingle with subtle cranberry and pomegranate and a slight mineral essence. Gentle tannins and firm acidity frame delicious flavors of spicy cherry and earth notes. Lingering mocha and vanilla, with just a touch of orange, finish the wine.
Perfect with grilled sausages, onions, and peppers served over creamy polenta, or ideal for your next informal Italian meal.
