San Valentino Bacaia Sangiovese Superiore 2016
Emilia-Romagna, ItalySan Valentino is owned by the Mascarin family since 1990, and is centered on the hills of Rimini, near the sea. They are certified organic. This sangiovese is from 150m, and 10 year old vines, native fermented and aged in stainless and concrete, and rested for up to 10 months in large French wood casks. Gentle red fruits, leather, earth, subtle dried florals are framed with ample sticky tannins. There's a lovely swell of acidity that keeps this aloft to the lightly warming, snappy, saline finish. Great wine for meaty pizzas or grilled sausages.Tasted: 07 August 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $19.95 | 750ml | consignment |
