Cabernet Franc - Frozen Grapes Available from Brehm Vineyards

Sangiovese | Santo Giordano, Carneros AVA

From: $0.00

Sangiovese is the primary grape in Tuscany’s Chianti wine. Our California Sangiovese is grown in a region sufficiently hot to allow full sugar and phenolic development while maintaining fresh acidity. These grapes were originally planted for use by Sam and Vicki Sebastiani’s Italian oriented Viansa winery located next door to the vineyard.

Winemaking Thoughts

These grapes provide for a deep, rich Sangiovese when blended with up to 50% Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot or even Syrah a deeper wine will result. Peter would try 15% Malbec.
