Why We Stock It

This is a straightforward, well-made Sangiovese at a fair price for anyone looking for a Tuscan red that doesn't require a special occasion. The wine balances fruit and acidity without the weight of a Brunello or Vino Nobile, making it useful for a range of dishes and moods. We like it as a house red for people exploring Tuscany beyond the famous names.

Tasting Profile

The wine is bright and balanced, with the classic cherry-and-earth profile of Tuscan Sangiovese.

• Aroma: Bright cherry and plum with earthy undertones
• Palate: Red fruit, fine tannins, hint of spice
• Structure & Finish: Good acidity, clean mineral finish

Winemaking

The wine is made in the traditional Tuscan style, though specific details of fermentation vessel, skin contact, and oak ageing are not available for this producer. Expect winemaking typical of the region: likely stainless steel or cement for fermentation, with some time in neutral oak or no oak ageing to preserve freshness.

Serving & Pairing

Serve at 62 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, no decanting needed. Try it with cured meats and cheese, roasted chicken, or tomato-based pasta. A plate of prosciutto and pecorino and a glass of this wine is as good a simple pairing as it gets; it also handles ragu or chicken with herbs without breaking stride.

Terroir

The wine comes from Toscana, Italy's heartland for Sangiovese. The region's warm days and cool nights encourage bright acidity and ripe fruit, while clay and limestone soils give the characteristic earthy, mineral backbone. This Rosso di Caspri captures that balance of fruit and structure that defines modern Tuscan reds.
