Sangiovese

2015 Puglia Sangiovese

The Tornambe Sangiovese from the Puglia region in Italy is a captivating red wine that showcases the distinct characteristics of the Sangiovese varietal. This 2015 vintage presents a medium-bodied profile, striking a wonderful balance between richness and approachability. On the palate, it displays bright acidity that invigorates the senses, while its fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of cherry, plum, and hints of spice. The tannins are notable yet soft, lending structure without overwhelming the palate. As a dry wine, it beautifully complements a variety of dishes, making it an excellent choice for gatherings or a cozy evening at home. Tornambe Sangiovese is truly a testament to the quality and terroir of the Puglia wine-growing region.

Region:


Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
