2022 Sangiovese Moon Mountain District

Wine Notes Print tech sheet

True to the classic wines of Chianti, our Sangiovese from the Moon Mountain District showcases the vibrant acidity and lively fruit character that define this beloved variety. While the Moon Mountain District AVA has earned its reputation for outstanding Bordeaux-style bottlings, we delight in uncovering hidden treasures within its dramatic landscape where lesser-known California varieties thrive. For those who appreciate food-friendly wines with rustic charm that transition seamlessly from weeknight dinners to elegant gatherings, this expression is essential.
