2021 Stolpman Love You Bunches Carbonic Sangiovese

	Sangiovese
	Santa Barbara County, California, USA
	From the winery: "Before we experimented with carbonic fermentation, we intentionally picked Sangiovese on the ripe side to allow for tannins and acids to soften. Then we aged the wine in barrel for 30 months and another 6 months in bottle prior to release. The extended age allowed for the tannin and acid to integrate, as the fruit profile and mid-palate richness enveloped any harshness on the finish. Carbonic Fermentation – allowing the grapes to ferment whole, uncrushed in a sealed tank– allows for a red wine containing only a fraction of the tannin present in a traditionally fermented red wine. Without the threat of an overly tannic wine, we can pick earlier, at lower sugar and high, refreshing acidity. Because we don’t need to wait for integration, we bottle the wine within a few months of harvest, locking in the fresh, un-oxidized profile. In 2016 we re-branded Carbonic Sangiovese “Love You Bunches” – a pun on the gentle treatment of the whole grape bunches. All grapes must be kept intact through fermentation. Of course, the simple, whimsical label is the perfect fit for this fun, happy wine."; 12.5% abv
	Light and refreshing. Candied raspberry and strawberry. Just enough bite back.
	Your outdoor pizza oven!
	Chill it! This one is at it's best chilled. So refreshing and chuggable!
