 2005 Sangiovese Dry
Creek Valley, Sonoma CountyTeldeschi Home Ranch Ray and Lori Teldeschi planted the Sangiovese especially for us in 1997, on their beautiful eastern-bench ranch. To honor Ray’s father, Michele, who started farming there in 1949, we decided to choose an Italian name for our label. Gennaio simply means January – a special month at Duxoup (both our birthdays, our wedding anniversary, the date we found the land on which to build our home and winery, and Ray’s birthday, as well!) If you look very closely at the label, you will see each of these dates: hint – Roman numerals.
We blend a small (7-10%) amount of Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in the block of land adjacent to the Sangiovese, to add to the character of the wine. Serve this with spicy and/or tomato-based dishes. 366 cases produced |

Sangiovese
means “blood of Zeus” (whew!) When the grapes are first crushed, the juice
indeed is quite “bloody” in color. The resulting wine is very spicy with a
strong backbone of the right amount of acid and tannin.
