About This Wine


Tintoretto

Sangiovese

Rustic and Old World in style, this wine is a perfect example of a classic Italian Sangiovese. Sangiovese is the most widely planted varietal in Tuscany and primarily contributes to Chianti blends, so seeing the grape on its own always means you’re in for a treat! This wine is rich and layered but not overpowering. With juicy dark fruit flavors and savory notes, signature tannins come forward on the end making this enjoyable throughout each sip.

Wine Region


Sicily / Sicilia

Even among Italy's diverse wine regions, Sicily offers something unique. Abundant sunshine, varied volcanic terroirs, cool coastal breezes and drying African winds make it a perfect place for growing vines. The island is home to many indigenous grape varieties, featuring reds such as Sangiovese, Nero d'Avola and Frappato, and popular white varieties including Vermentino, Catarratto and Zibibbo. As the largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily's position between Europe, Africa and the Levant has long made it a strategic location. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Normans and Arabs have all at various times controlled Sicily, and left their mark on its 4,000-year-old winemaking tradition.
