90% Sangiovese and 10% Friulano

This wine was inspired by the buoyantly cheerful and luscious Red/White blends made by some of our friends. (Check out Ruth Lewandowski Feints and Sam Vinciullo Merlot/Semillon) It is also a bit of a postmodern homage to the old fiasco bottled Chianti. Large amounts of white grapes, mostly Trebbiano and Malvasia, were once added to Sangiovese in Chianti to soften the tannins and to increase the sugar. Sure, some of those wines were bad. But the idea of serviceable wine made with joy is often not given enough respect. Wines can be amazing without being overly contemplative.

VINIFICATION


The Sangiovese Friulano hails from two organically grown vineyards. The 2022 is composed of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Friulano. The grapes were harvested together and sealed in tank with carbon dioxide for a fully carbonic fermentation. After pressing the wine was aged in puncheon and bottled in January, unfiltered and with a minuscule sulfur addition.

TASTING NOTES


Another juicy and delicious rendition of our Sangiovese-Friulano! This wine shows aromatics of cherry flesh, perfumed florals and cinnamon. A beautiful and playful wine served best with a slight chill. Happy drinking!
