About This Wine
Aculina
Sangiovese
Our Aculina Sangiovese personifies Italian culture. As the newest addition to this “Best of Class” brand, this food-friendly
wine offers inviting floral aromas, bright red fruit flavors, and complex savory characteristics. Sangiovese is one of Italy’s oldest and most beloved grape varieties due to its vivid textures, pairing abilities, and aging potential. This native Italian grape is right at home in the vineyards of Puglia. As the heel of Italy’s boot, this region benefits from a warm, dry climate with cooling breezes from the surrounding Mediterranean Sea. Here, you’ll find the local wines served alongside regional delicacies like freshly baked focaccia drizzled with olive oil and topped with mozzarella. With our Aculina Sangiovese, we invite you to channel some Italian inspiration for your next dinner party as you host an evening centered around the beauty of food and wine.
