Winemaker Notes: 

"This wine has lovely round tannins, lively acidity, a dark red hue, aromas of dark stone fruits and berries and on the mid-palate, flavors of plums, dark cherries,cooked strawberries, berries, earth and spices.

Don Angelo is a blend of these two Italian varieties of grapes in honor of our friend, Angelo, who introduced us to the wonders of the Province of Umbria. Located just East of Tuscany, Umbria is a landlocked province which produces great wines, wonderful olives, Perugina Chocolates and many, many other world class gastronomical delights. Monte Falco, a small town in the heart of Umbria is the center of the Sagrantino World. 

We produced this wine using Sagrantino that we planted at our vineyard in the Dry Creek Valley and Sangiovese grapes we sourced from the Venturi Family Vineyard in Calpella, Mendocino County. Together they produce an exquisite wine that showcases the blend of these two great varieties."
