Tasting Notes
Color Deep garnet
Nose Classic Sangiovese — concentrated raspberry and Montmorency cherry emerge immediately. With air: cola berry, cedar, and Madagascar vanilla bean.
Palate Fresh cut fruit notes emerge as the wine shows its weight. Full-bodied, walking a tightrope between heft, pillowy texture, and vibrant acidity. Gentle finish with fine-grained tannins and expressive barrel characteristics.
Pairs with
- Pasta Bolognese
- Osso buco
- Spaghetti alla puttanesca
- Charcuterie board

“Based on 81% Sangiovese and 19% Petit Verdot, aged 17 months in French oak (40% new), the 2023 The Jewel sports a deeply ruby hue for a Sangiovese and offers notes of ripe black cherries, leather, spice, and underbrush nuances. Medium to full-bodied, round, plush, and textured, with supple tannins, beautiful purity, and great integration, it's an incredibly charming expression of the variety. Drink 2025-2035.”
