This is the famous Italian grape of Chianti which thrives in the warmth of our Guilford County estate vineyard in the Piedmont of North Carolina. The Grove Sangiovese is made as a big, unfiltered super-Tuscan style wine blended with a touch of Cabernet. Aged with European oak. Pairs very well with rack of lamb, sausages and steaks.

Here is Tastings review of the current 88 rated 2015 Grove Estate Sangiovese:

"Brick red color. Fruity aromas of dried cherries, leather, root beer, and vanilla gelato with a satiny, lively, fruity light-to-medium body and a warming, appealing, medium-length peony petals, black pepper, and rhubarb finish with moderate oak. A noble take on food-friendly Sangiovese from North Carolina.."
