NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Miner Gibson Ranch Sangiovese is a complex and inviting example of California’s iconic grape.On the nose, aromas of ripe cherry, strawberry, and white pepper are balanced with subtle notes of leather, earth, and smoky tobacco. On the palate, the wine’s bright acidity and medium tannins provide a pleasant balance to the juicy cherry and baking spice flavors. The finish is long and persistent, with a pleasant minerality that lingers on the tongue. It is a perfect match for Italian cuisine or enjoyed on its own.

ORIGINS
Winery: Miner
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.
