This Sangiovese is a medium-bodied wine featuring forward fruit characteristics of raspberry, mint leaves and black cherry. The luxurious finish lingers on the palate popping with bright acidity and a velvety texture. 14 month aging on French and American Oak lends this wine soft tannins and subtle oak nuances.

Winemaker's Notes

Opolo Sangiovese is a vibrantly flavored wine that pays homage to this great Tuscan varietal, combining Old World style with a Paso Robles flair. The 2021 Sangiovese presents enticing aromas of dark plum, sage, loam, and dried herbs. Flavors of ripe cherry, raspberry, and cranberry anticipate notes of cedar and prune. A silky texture and bright acidity converge on a tangy, seamless finish.

Food Pairing

This lively red is a perfect match for Italian sausage pizza, rustic flat breads, and barbecued chicken.
