Harvest
Potentially large crop required thinning of fruit in the vineyard, with outstanding results.
Winemaking
Our Sangiovese is made to age for 20–30 years in your cellar. Of course, there are some vintage-to-vintage variations to this recommendation. Wine should be stored horizontally at 55–57 degrees.
Aging
Our production experience with Sangiovese is somewhat limited but we feel it should parallel merlot. Historically, Italian Sangiovese of good structure can age 20 years or longer.
