Sangiovese is an Italian cultivar from the Tuscan region. Like Italian wine, the Raka Sangiovese is a medium bodied wine with characters of sweet cherries & cranberries with hints of spice and cinnamon. It pairs perfectly with pizza, pasta or any tomato based food.
Bouquet and Palate: Sweet cherries and cranberries with hints of spice and cinnamon on the nose. Earthy tones with berry sourness on the palate with a smooth finish.
Style: Dry red wine
Cellar Technique: All grapes were hand picked and sorted in the vineyards. A second berry sorting was done in the cellar, before a pure yeast culture was inocculated. The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day and manual punch downs done for 5 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained off the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wines transfer to a combination of 225 litre barrels of French oak types. (25% New)
