Sangiovese
MED-BODIED, TART POMEGRANATE, RED BERRY, LYCHEE, DARK PLUM, OAK
The name "Love You Bunches" is a cute and nerdy nod to the process of Carbonic Fermentation (in which whole, uncrushed bunches of grapes are left to ferment inside a sealed tank), used here by the winemakers to manipulate an uncommonly bright, fresh, and light profile for Sangiovese.
This is a fun and happy wine; drink it cold under a hot sun.
