Sangio Leggero

Sangiovese is the most abundant grape in our part of Tuscany- so we decided to play with this one a little. We harvested these grapes early to boost the acidity. Tuscan Sangiovese are usually round and full bodied, so this leggero- meaning light, is a departure from the norm. 

A fresh and fun take on a Tuscan classic that let's you appreciate this famous grape in a more enduring way.
