Dievole Dievolino Rosso di Sangiovese

Before jumping into the next big series, I thought we’d review some odds and ends.  Wines that we’ve received as samples, but are unique enough that we don’t get the quantity needed to do a full series.  Today, we’re checking out a Sangiovese from Dievole.

Wine production at Dievole dates back to the 12th century in Tuscany.  Of course, many things have changed over the years but in 2006 they began undergoing a renewal.  A renewal focused on preserving traditions while using modern technologies to ensure quality.  They focus on native mother vines, but use modern techniques of vineyard management.  Also, in 2006, they brought in agronomist Dr. Valerio Zorzi as a consultant.

If this wine is an example of the results from this renewal, then I want to taste more.
