2015 Leone IGP Puglia Sangiovese
Traditional winemaking techniques, including a 10-day maceration on the skins in stainless-steel tanks, contributed to this wine's tight, bold style. Concentrated flavors of red fruit such as plum and tart cherry mingle with earthier layers of mushroom and oregano, resulting in an inspired match for meaty pasta dishes or smoky, wood-fired pizza.
