Uncover a tucked away taste of an ancient grape
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Open Secret
Sangiovese
“Best of Class” Open Secret continues to unveil occult treasures from around the globe. Our Sangiovese offers herbal aromas, ripe berry flavors and food-friendly textures, revealing everything we expect and love from this classic Italian red from a lesser-known location. Sangiovese is most commonly associated with Tuscany’s famous Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino wines. However, the sun-soaked island of Sicily has cultivated this ancient grape since the time of the Romans, as it offers an ideal home to this warmth-loving variety. Since the late 1950s, our local winemaking partners have been following in the footsteps of their ancestors, unlocking the best of Sicilian soils. Our 2020 vintage is born from the fruit of 25-year-old vines grown in sandy soils on the southwestern part of the island.

WINE REGION:
Terre Siciliane IGT
Italy's Terre Siciliane covers wines made across the island of Sicily—including its satellite islands of Salina, Pantelleria and Stromboli. The wines can be still or sparkling, red, white or rosé, dry or sweet, and made from such grape varieties as Sangiovese, Catarratto and Vermentino. Whatever the style, Terre Siciliane wines benefit from the natural features of this southern Italian region. Sicily's abundant sunshine, mineral-rich soils, coastal breezes and drying African winds help it produce exceptional grapes that transfer into wines of character and expression. The IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) classification system was created to provide more freedom and ease for winemaking within Italy. Wines under the IGT classification are regulated on the region of origin—where within the country grapes are grown—instead of varietals or wine styles as DOC and DOCG laws focus on.
