Indigenous Selections builds its lineup around Italy's native grapes, and this is the pure Sangiovese, grown in Terricciola in Tuscany's Pisan hills. One grape, zero oak. It ferments and ages in stainless steel, then rests in bottle before release, so nothing gets between you and the grape: dark cherry, violets, ripe tannic backbone. Vines grow on marine deposit and travertine soils with a southern exposure. Honest Tuscan red for pasta night that drinks above its price.

Dark cherry, strawberry, blackberry jam, violets, sweet spice, and cinnamon. Ripe forest fruit on the palate with hints of dark chocolate, ripe structuring tannins, and a fresh, persistent finish.

Classic matches for a red like this: Grilled and roasted meats, hearty pastas, aged cheeses.

Fruit comes from ten-year-old vines on a southern exposure in Terricciola, planted in marine deposits and travertine at about 650 feet. Fourteen-day controlled fermentation, 18 months in stainless tank, no oak, then months of bottle rest before release.
