Our 2017 Rosato di Sangiovese is created in the saignée tradition – about 10% of the Sangiovese juice destined to become red wine is removed after 12-24 hours on the skins. This pink juice then ferments separately in a stainless steel tank. This process produces a delightfully aromatic, fruity rosé, with the added bonus of giving the remaining red wine a more concentrated flavor.

"Few California Sangioveses are this true to type and this affordable. Very smooth, supple and well balanced, this wine is medium bodied, flavorful and will be very versatile with food. Good fruit acidity and light tannins add some grip on the palate, as subtle cherry, sage and leather flavors build toward the finish." - Wine Enthusiast, Editors' Choice

"Elegant, almost delicate, this complex and inviting wine from a Sangiovese specialist is medium bodied, well balanced and offers mostly subtle flavors that weave nicely through a supple and lightly firm texture. It has dried cherry and cranberry aromas, tangy fruit flavors and fine-grained tannins." - Wine Enthusiast, Editors' Choice, 92 points

A super-premium, Brunello-style Sangiovese, Noceto's AX-1 is the result of many years of experimentation to produce a California Sangiovese to rival the best Brunellos and Riserva Sangioveses from Italy. Gentle treatment has been the focus of the entire winemaking process -- from a gentle crushing of the grapes and a 10-14 day fermentation in new French oak puncheons to preserve the bright varietal flavors, to 36 months of aging in the same puncheon to soften youthful tannins and gently age the wine, and finally an additional 2-1/2 years of bottle aging. The result is a fruit-packed, full-flavored, complex wine with a lingering finish. The wine has a beautifully maintained acidity which gives the wine crispness and ageability.
