Villa Fiore

2011 Alexander Valley Sangiovese

The Ferrari-Carano Villa Fiore is a beautifully crafted Sangiovese that hails from the picturesque Alexander Valley. This delightful red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile with vibrant acidity that creates a refreshing experience on the palate. Its fruit intensity is prominent, offering enticing flavors of ripe red cherries and plums, harmoniously complemented by subtle herbal notes. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that supports the wine's complexity. As a dry wine, it elegantly balances the fruitiness with a savory finish, making it a versatile choice for pairing with a variety of foods or simply enjoying on its own. This 2011 vintage exemplifies the region's rich terroir and the artisanal winemaking practices that define Ferrari-Carano.

Alexander Valley

One of the warmest AVAs in Sonoma County, Alexander Valley stretches from the banks of the Russian River into the foothills of the Mayacamas mountain range. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the main grapes here, creating voluptuously full-bodied wines with distinct notes of cassis, roast plum and even chocolate. They are more fruit forward than the earthy reds of Napa. For white wines, Alexander Valley offers big and bold Chardonnay. These are often aged with oak for a buttery vanilla flavor, and those grown nearest the Russian River have a noticeable minerality. Other grapes that thrive in the valley's balmy climate are Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
