We all know Sangiovese and its classic Chianti and Tuscan origins, so therefore we may not associate this varietal with California. However, I think this Mediterranean varietal can shine in California. It is naturally adapted to warmer climates and naturally maintains lower pHs making the resulting wine higher in acidty. In my opinion, this leads to a wine that shows best with food and is always something I'm striving to produce. Sourced from Mokelumne River AVA which is located in the greater Lodi area. This vineyard benefits from cooler climatic conditions often influenced by the Pacific Ocean. The Bench Vineyard sits in sandy loam soils and is farmed with biodynamic practices.
Vinification: 100% whole cluster fermentation with native yeast. This wine was racked off malolactic lees and aged for 17 months in a combination of 3-5-year-old barrels in both puncheon and 60 gal barrels.
Aromas of orange peel, cherry, tobacco, and anise. Similar flavors come through on the palate with long-lasting acidity and structured tannins. 52 cases produced.
