2007 Ramazzotti Raffinto Super Tuscan Style

Vineyards Our Sangiovese vineyard was planted in 1985 on a steep hillside on the Ramazzotti Home Ranch, and was grafted to Sangiovese in 1996. Located above the fog line in the Dry Creek Valley, the vines face west and receive sun all day long. The soil is rocky and well drained, naturally resulting in a light crop of rich, concentrated fruit. We also blend fruit from other select vineyards in the area to craft this amazing wine. Winemaking 60% Sangiovese, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 7% Syrah & 5% Cabernet Franc. The careful addition of the varietals other than Syrah defines traditional Chianti from Tuscany Italy, elsewhere known as the Super-Tuscan style. The addition of Syrah to the blend is becoming common in California wines due to the quality, compatibility and unique characteristics of the fruit available here, and is valued for the inky appearance and firm mouthfeel that it imparts to the wine. This wine was aged in 50% American & French third-year oak barrels for 24 months, as Sangiovese can be overwhelmed by the more intense flavors imparted by new oak barrels. 14.5% alcohol, .3% residual sugar, only 490 cases produced.
