Winemaker Notes
The Sangiovese grape is said to be one of the three staples of the Tuscan diet--wine, olive oil and bread. Silky layers of red cherry, plum and spice are captured in our 1996 La Famiglia Sangiovese with gentle hand-harvesting and traditional winemaking techniques. Because of the early budbreak, the length of the growing season was fairly long and allowed ample time for development of full varietal flavor and supple tannins in Sangiovese grapes. The intriguing spiciness and enhancing acidity make this red wine a delicious accompaniment to dishes with cheese or cream sauces, such as pasta Alfredo. Grilled mushrooms, game, chicken and pork, especially when brushed with olive oil and herbs, are also excellent pairings. Sangiovese can also be served with full flavored fish.
