Da Capo Sangiovese

2020 Stellenbosch Sangiovese

The Idiom Da Capo Sangiovese 2020 from Stellenbosch is a captivating expression of this classic varietal, beautifully showcasing the unique terroir of the region. This wine greets you with an inviting bouquet of red cherries, ripe strawberries, and a whisper of rose petals. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and a supple, medium body, with flavors of juicy red fruit, a hint of black tea, and an undercurrent of savory herbs. The tannins are well-integrated and provide a gentle structure, making it an exceptionally food-friendly wine that pairs wonderfully with Italian dishes, grilled meats, and hearty pastas. This Sangiovese is a delightful example of how Stellenbosch can successfully craft a traditionally Italian varietal, delivering a wine that is both elegant and expressive.

Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is the heart and soul of South African wine, as important to the country's winemaking prestige as Napa is to the United States or Bordeaux to France. This beautiful region comprises seven sub-regions, all centered around the leafy university town of Stellenbosch. Winemaking here is influenced by the cooling sea breezes that sweep in off False Bay, and the crumbly, mineral-rich granite soils. While perhaps most famous for its beloved Pinotage, Stellenbosch also offers a diverse range of varietals, such as its impeccable Bordeaux blends, fragrant Syrah, crisp Chenin Blanc and outstanding Chardonnay.
