Noceto - Sangiovese - California

About This Item

Overview: Vino Noceto has been making "California's Best Sangiovese" for over 25 years. Located in beautiful Amador County, we now make eight different Sangioveses as well as an Old Vine Zinfandel, a slightly sparkling Moscato called Frivolo, Barbera, a Tuscan Red Blend, and more!

Why Noceto? Noceto means walnut grove in Italian, and walnuts were a staple crop for the farm where the Noceto estate now stands. Noceto, Italy, near Parma, is the sister city of Suzy’s native town of Walnut Creek. Plus the name is short, simple, and easily said if not necessarily properly pronounced!

Tasting Notes: A leafy earthy aroma and traditional olive and grilled plum flavors give this mature wine a tempting Italian flair, while medium to full body and light tannins lend the mouthfeel an mouthwatering grip. 

Pairing: Pasta Bolognese
