Il Chiaretto

2006 California Sangiovese

Cosentino Winery's Il Chiaretto, a captivating Sangiovese from California's sun-drenched vineyards, embodies the essence of ripe, red fruit. This delightful wine displays a medium body that feels vibrant on the palate, with a refreshingly bright acidity contributing to its overall lively character. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing luscious cherry and raspberry notes, harmoniously layered with subtle hints of earth and spice. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth texture without overwhelming the fruit. As a dry wine, it presents a balanced and approachable profile, making it an excellent choice to accompany a variety of dishes or simply enjoyed on its own.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
