Why You'll Love this Wine
Complex Flavor Profile:
This 100% Sangiovese from Pontin del Roza Vineyard captures the essence of its old-world heritage. The wine bursts with vibrant red fruit—think cherry and cranberry—layered with savory notes of leather, cedar, and dried herbs. Its rustic edge is balanced by supple tannins and a lively structure, making it both expressive and approachable.
Balanced Acidity:
The 2023 vintage in Yakima Valley benefited from a warm, steady growing season, allowing Sangiovese to achieve excellent ripeness while retaining its hallmark freshness. The result is a varietally true expression—bright, nuanced, and perfectly in balance.
Versatile Pairings:
This Sangiovese shines with hearty Italian fare—think pappardelle with wild boar ragu or wood-fired pizza with fennel sausage. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses like Pecorino Romano and stands up confidently to grilled meats such as lamb chops or Tuscan-style steak.
Recommended Food Pairings
Tuscan-Style Grilled Steak: The wine’s bright acidity and rustic tannins cut beautifully through the richness of a charred, juicy bistecca alla Fiorentina.
Italian Sausage & Pepper Skewers: The savory spice of sausage and sweetness of roasted peppers are elevated by Sangiovese’s red fruit and earthy notes.
Aged Pecorino Romano: The salty, nutty sharpness of Pecorino brings out the wine’s depth and classic old-world character.
