I Vini di Giovanni "Rozzo" Umbria 2023
Grape: Sangiovese, Montepulciano
Region: Umbria, Italy
Giovanni Battista Mesina is a third-generation Sardinian shepherd — over 1,000 sheep on the property — who started making wine in the family barn with nothing but grapes and instinct. "Rozzo" is indigenous yeasts, 5 days on skins, 6 months steel, zero additions. Red cherry, dried herbs, a little leather. Juicy, earthy, real.
