Fans of rich, Italian reds are sure to enjoy 2021 Primasera Sangiovese I.G.T. This Sangiovese was crafted by Castellani, an award-winning family winery that has been producing distinctive wines since 1903. An intense ruby red color in the glass, this harmonious wine opens with a rich bouquet of plum and bramble fruit flavors along with aromas of strawberry, violet, and pepper. It is dry and balanced with a savory finish. Made from grapes hand-picked in vineyards in Puglia in Southern Italy, this red wine is a delicious expression of the classic Italian varietal. Sangiovese is Italy’s most-planted grape, and it thrives in the region’s fertile soils and pleasant climate. For winemaker Piergiorgio Castellani, the quality of the wine begins in the vineyard. The Tuscan-based Castellani winery blends rich heritage along with modern techniques to create delectable, highly-drinkable wines. 2021 Primasera Sangiovese I.G.T. represents Castellani’s craftsmanship and commitment to making memorable wines with authentic Italian flavor. “Primasera” translates to “early evening,” which is a wonderful time to enjoy this Sangiovese as you prepare a meal and chat with loved ones. Its high acidity and light-moderate tannins complement tomato and meat-based dishes, so this red is a perfect companion to pizza, pasta, and lasagna.
