VINTAGE
The 2022 growing season was blessed by late winter rains that replenished our soil moisture as the vines emerged from dormancy. A cold spring led to a slower start for the vines, but we avoided any frost danger. Summer growing conditions were exceptional, with consistent weather and blue skies ushering in a Goldilocks summer that was not too hot and not too cold. We are thrilled with the quality of the grapes from the outstanding 2022 vintage.
WINEMAKING
Aged 20 months in 10% new American oak.
TASTING NOTES
Bright and classically structured, the 2022 Sangiovese offers lifted aromas of sour cherry, dried thyme, and hints of leather and cedar. The palate is vibrant and linear, with red currant, wild strawberry, and subtle baking spice wrapped in fine-grained tannins.
A wine of precision and energy, true to its varietal roots and crafted for the table. A subtle note of dusty earth and savory spice lingers through the finish, adding depth and nuance. This vintage is a clear expression of Sangiovese’s versatility in Napa Valley, balancing freshness with a refined, Old World sensibility.
PAIRING
Perfect with tomato-based dishes, Grilled Lamb Chops, or Mushroom Risotto. Also shines alongside aged Pecorino or a classic Margherita Pizza.
