Castello di Amorosa, Napa Valley (California) Sangiovese 2017

Jul 20, 2021

By Rich Cook

 The new release of the Castello di Amorosa Sangiovese is built for fans of deeply spiced bright black fruit that is fully ripe but maintains a svelte figure in the glass.  Black cherry, nutmeg, sage, and wildflower aromas lead to a palate that translates those elements directly, even at this early stage.  The food friendly acidity will have you salivating for a spicy pasta dish.  I’m leaning toward carbonara.
