Sangiovese Rosé 2004

SANGIOVESE ROSÉ

Summer was dry as expected, but an unexpectedly cool January was perfect for the vines to ripen and maintain good canopies. This cool period led to the grapes in most regions maintaining excellent natural acid levels. Sangiovese is the most widely grown variety in Italy, and arguably best known as the basis for the red wines of Tuscany and Chianti. Sangiovese wines typically are medium bodied red wines, with aromas and flavours of cherries and spice with floral overtones. Sangiovese makes wonderful food wines. This wine shows all the cherry fruit and spice, but made as a rosé style - light in body and fresh for current drinking.
