SANGIOVESE 2019

May Red Wine of the Month
Sangiovese is the most widely planted wine grape in Italy. Sangiovese is the main variety in many great Italian wines like Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and the modern inclination of a Super Tuscan. The grapevine can be found growing worldwide, such as in Australia, California, and Washington. At Lynfred we have recreated this iconic variety in a fully ripened style, produced with very ripe grapes, like those grapes harvested during Tuscany’s sunny summer. Enjoy this bold wine with your favorite Tuscan-inspired cuisine!
