Description
SIENA has delicious aromas and flavors of fresh-picked blackberries, cola, cinnamon, cherry pie and vanilla bean. Sweet oak notes of spice, roasted marshmallow, caramel and vanilla complement lingering, bright red and black berries. SIENA has tannins that are soft, harmonious and mouth coating with lovely viscosity, depth and a tremendous finish. WINEMAKER NOTES SIENA consists primarily of Sangiovese. Upon entering the winery, grapes are hand sorted and then gravity fed directly into tanks for three days of cold soaking. The wine is fermented on the skins for about 10 days until pressing, then individual lots are moved to barrels where they complete malolactic fermentation. After fermentation, the wine is blended and aged in Hungarian puncheons and French oak barrels for 12 months, then bottled and aged an additional four months before release.
