Valle di Assisi, Ceccomatto Sangiovese I.G.T.
(che-CO-mah-toh sahn-jo-VAY-zay uhm-BREE-ah)

 

Tasting Notes: Using Sangiovese, the principle red varietal of central Italia, Valle di Assisi<br />distinguishes themselves with this slight variation of an Umbrian classic.<br />Blended with Merlot, this wine achieves more body and softens the tannins of the Umbrian clone, but maintains terrific freshness and acidity. With aromas of violets, cranberry, acacia wood and rhubarb, this wine improves literally any meal it accompanies.
