ABOUT THIS WINE:
Masterworks Series
Sangiovese
When curating your collection of wines, save a place for our Masterworks Series Sangiovese. Beyond its eye-catching label—which deserves the most visible spot on your shelf—this wine exhibits elegant flavors and textures that capture both the influence of nature and the winemaker’s expertise. This Sangiovese falls on the bolder side of its style, with a weightier body and more fruit-forward character than many other Italian examples. This is thanks to the hot and dry climate of Puglia, where grapes spend their days ripening under the Mediterranean sun. Cool breezes from the surrounding waters prevent high temperatures from diminishing the wine’s acidity. These perfectly plump grapes provide an even canvas for our winemakers, who used oak to add complexity, spice, and character to the wine’s fruity profile. Enjoy this bottle among friends paired with lively discussions involving artwor ...

WINE REGION:
Puglia IGT
The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes. The IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) classification system was created to provide more freedom and ease for winemaking within Italy. Wines under the IGT classification are regulated on the region of origin—where within the country grapes are grown—instead of varietals or wine styles as DOC and DOCG laws focus on.

TASTING NOTES:
Vanilla
Blueberry
Cedar
Oak drives the aromatic profile of this wine, displaying scents of cedar and vanilla. The palate’s modest acidity matches equally gentle tannins, which have a light, dusty character. These subdued textures allow ripe red cherry and sweet blueberry flavors to shine before vanilla takes over on the finish.
