A certified-organic Italian Sangiovese with notes of black cherry, blackcurrant, and coffee.

Terroir


The vineyards that produce our Sangiovese are located in the Angri region, near Canosa, in the region of Alta Murgia, to be more precise. They are cultivated according to strict specifications that guarantee superior quality. The vines grow in relatively deep alluvial soils of medium texture with a mix of limestone and sand. These are dark soils with a good content of organic matter.

Winemaking


The grapes are harvested by hand in early September. After being sorted, they macerate in a stainless-steel tank at a controlled temperature for a period of 10 days. Once the grapes have been pressed, fermentation takes place in a stainless-steel tank to preserve the fruit’s freshness.

Tasting notes


Deep purple in colour, this wine offers up aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, and coffee. On the palate, the tannins are supple, and the finish is fruity and harmonious.

Suggested pairings


Ideal with pasta bolognaise, pulled pork, or braised duck breast.

Transportation and bottling


The wine, approved by our tasting committee, is bulk-shipped by boat from Puglia to Montreal, where it is then bottled.

Certification


This wine obtained the Canadian Ecocert certification.
