Old World influence meets California terroir. Typically, we tuck the Sangiovese into our Amore Rosso, but this year we let it shine on its own. This is a mix of Sangiovese Piccolo (smaller berries) and Grosso (much larger berries) that grow at Fox Hill Vineyard. They thrive in the hilly, rocky soil and climate that mirrors its Tuscan homeland. We harvested the Sangiovese early to preserve its acidity. We fermented it in stainless steel tank, pressed and then aged in neutral French oak barrique for nine months. Unfined and unfiltered.

This wine showcases a vibrant interplay of food-friendly acidity and ripe fruit, making it suitable for immediate enjoyment. With aromas of Honeysuckle, pomegranate, currents, kaffir lime leaf, Its lively intensity and well-structured tannins also allow for some light aging if desired
