Radici della Famiglia Dodici

Tasting Notes

The Dodici boasts its Italian heritage, showing the beautiful contrasting aromas of cherry and cranberry balanced against dusty earth. The mouth brings more bright red plum, and a vibrant acidity thanks to the Sangiovese. The Cabernet brings a powerful tannin structure that will enable this wine to age gracefully for many years. The toasty vanilla oak characteristics, dried fruit, and a touch of earth marry so well that it is difficult to tease out the details. This unique blend is favored each year for its versatility - it is a natural to serve with hors d’oeuvres right through the meal, and on to a cheese course.

Winemaker's Notes

Dodici marks the Twelth vintage of our signature Super-Tuscan blend. Every year the precise composition changes in order to maintain consistency and deliver the most intriguing and complex wine. The Dodici is 33% 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon from the TR Passalacqua Ranch, and 67% 2018 Sangiovese. Our Sangiovese comes from two different vineyards in Dry Creek Valley, Saini Farms, and Lago Di Merlo Vineyards.
