The ideal growing conditions of the vineyard site has created a wine that is dark purple-garnet in color with aromas and flavors of ripe boysenberry, smoky cherry, spicy wood and earth, with ripe, full tannins and a seamless balance that carries through to a long, lush finish. 

Sangiovese is the most widely planted red grape variety in the Chianti region of Tuscany but also famous for Brunello di Montalcino and derives its name from the Latin sanguis Jovis, "the blood of Jupiter”. Monte Volpe is one of the oldest producers of Sangiovese in California, releasing its first vintage in 1992.
