2018 Hillside Sangiovese
New release!
In Stock
No Single Block has evolved over the years as much as Hillside. This is a wine that has "grown up" with every consecutive vintage. It was our 2015 Hillside that so impressed the judges at the California State Fair, they awarded it "Best Sangiovese in California."
This Sangiovese is 100% Sangiovese Piccolo coming from the hillside on our ranch-house parcel and our neighbors at Reward Ranch. Sangiovese grapes for this selection were originally sourced from Isole e Olena in Chianti, Tuscany, Italy.

Italian Sangiovese is my thing. Very few California Sangios can match those that come from a good vintage in Italy. However, in my opinion, the Hillside Sangiovese is the best CA Sangiovese I’ve had. Along with Marmellata, it is a Sangiovese that can match an excellent Chianti Classico or Brunello. It is a well-balanced Sangio with good acidity, nice cherry notes but not too ‘hot’ with an ABV of 14.1%. I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys Sangiovese. You won’t be disappointed.
