SANGIOVESE ROSÉ
2021 | Livermore Valley | Cracker Box Vineyards
When the grapes speak, we listen. And when walking through the Cracker Box vineyard in August of 2021, we tasted some grapes that told us exactly what they wanted to be transformed into: ROSÉ!
Flavors of refreshing pink grapefruit is complemented by hints of fresh rose petals. Strawberries and gogi berries add a balance of beautiful tartness and refreshing sweet notes to round out the palate. Bright acidity and sultry floral essence make this the perfect pairing for Summer days spent with dear friends.
