Leonetti Cellar Walla Walla Valley Sangiovese 2013

Beautiful deep garnet color. The nose displays driving, dark red Bing cherries. There is a cherry orchard located next to the vineyard's Holy Roller Vineyard and this past summer the fruit was left unharvested due to rain splitting.A unique contributing factor to this wine blend is the addition of 8% of the varietal Aglianico. A first for Walla Walla Valley, the family planted this ancient grape of southern Italy in their Serra Pedace Vineyard. They tried a splash of this varietal in the blend and found it fit like a glove, adding structure and a firm core of austere fruit.
