WINE DESCRIPTION
Girasole Sangiovese is a delightful red wine produced by Girasole Vineyards, a family-owned winery located in Mendocino County, California. This wine is made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the estate's organic vineyards, which are situated in the rolling hills of the Redwood Valley appellation. The vineyards are blessed with abundant sunshine and cool coastal breezes, which allow the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is medium-bodied, with bright red fruit flavors, subtle tannins, and a refreshing acidity. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.

ORIGINS
Winery: Girasole
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
