## Food pairing

The bright acidity and balanced medium tannins of this Sangiovese naturally complement tomato-based sauces, cutting through the acidity of cooked tomatoes while matching the rich savory elements of roasted meats and cured charcuterie.

## Wine making process

Harvested from vineyards across Puglia, the grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts to preserve varietal character. The wine is aged primarily in stainless steel with controlled, minimal oak contact to protect fresh acidity and primary fruit character.
