I’d be interested to know the age of the vines that produced this wine, as there is some really old Sangiovese in Amador County, and I suspect that this might be sourced from them. This is quite Tuscan in style, with a nice sage and dry earth component joining spicy cherry fruit and finishing with the spice all in front. Go big with a pasta dish with this one!
