Fradei Sangiovese comes from the prestigious Rubicone area in central Italy, where Sangiovese is the key varietal.
Sangiovese is a wine that is rarely very dark in color. Its youthful purple-red color turns to a brick color around the rim after four or five years of aging. These thin-skinned grapes yield wine with bright aromas and flavors of black cherries, red plums and blueberries with nuances of violets and cinnamon.
Sangiovese pairs with a wide range of foods because of its medium weighted body and savory character. It will work perfectly with rich roasted meat (beef, lamb, pork), cured sausages, pastas, stews, and hard, well-aged cheeses.
