Tintoretto 2019 Sangiovese Puglia IGT, Italy

Description

This 93 point wine recently earned a Gold medal at the 2021 Winemakers Challenge, and was declared “Best in Show” at the 2021 USA Wine Ratings. A modern take on an Old World classic, our fruit-forward Tintoretto Sangiovese is made in a plush, easy-drinking style. Juicy fruit on the mid-palate is complemented by balanced acidity and dusty tannins. Nestled between the coastlines of the Adriatic and Ionian seas, the Puglia region forms the heel of Italy’s boot. Dubbed Italy’s New World wine region, vineyards planted here enjoy cool breezes coming off the water that help moderate the typically warm and sunny daytime temperatures. Because this area is relatively flat, it is considered an ideal agricultural landscape and is well known for olive oil in addition to its beautiful wines. Just one sip is all it takes to discover why Puglia is quickly becoming a prominent source of high-value wine. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.
