Vineyard:
Sourced from the Sangiovese from Piero
Antinori’s vineyard located at 1600 feet elevation
in the Atlas Peak appellation in the eastern hills
of the Napa Valley. At the time of blending, we
blend in small amounts of syrah to filll out the palate and create a
seamless blend that showcases the characteristics
of Sangiovese.
Tasting: Black plum, bing cherry, strawberry, and blueberry fruit with black pepper, juniper berry and vanilla aromas. Dense and dark on the forward palate that softens with cocoa dusted tannins.
