This set is currently available on Pre-Order. It will ship when the wines arrive in our warehouse.

It is the most planted red grape variety in Italy: Sangiovese. But did you know that Sangiovese is also grown outside of its historical birthplace of Italy? Places in the new world, like California are actually producing fun iterations of Sangiovese, like this one from Clos des Amis. But of course, any discussion of Sangiovese would be remiss to skip over Tuscany, where we find two of our sangioveses. One from the wilds of Maremma, for La Maliosa’s Tarconte sangiovese crafted naturally by a woman winemaker, and the other from the classic hills around Montalcino. What differences can you sense in these Sangiovese wines?

Shipping included for orders in the Continental US with this set, so feel free to add on other Sangiovese wines from Italy to try!

Think sipping on a wild strawberry black tea… but in a wine glass. Fresh wild strawberries take center stage, so sweet and juicy it's like biting into summer. Then, these delicate floral notes come through. This is a wine for kicking back and enjoying the good stuff. Perfect for a summer night with friends, a lighter dinner, or just because. Chill it a bit, to enjoy a different dimension of this wine.

Canalino Rosso di Montalcino

This is a complex, intense age-worthy vegan red wine; Once opened balsamic notes burst forth. We recommend to decant it or at least let it breathe a bit before tasting. When tasting, you understand that it comes from a terroir which one of the best Italian reds, Brunello, is made from; its structure is noteworthy, from acidity, to tannins to mineral structure. A delight for serious red wine lovers.

This wine is a rare treat, being one of the very few Sangiovese red wines grown on volcanic soil. This natural wine is a complex yet approachable.

Notes of earth, mineral, herbs, black pepper, it is super juicy with ripe tannins, a real food wine. A good pairing is with rosemary Asiago cheese.
