Matt ThomsonHOST
What are these like? They're three reds, three bright, fruity reds.
Matt ThomsonHOST
Do you like a Sangiovese? Like a Pinot? No, nicer than that.
Matt ThomsonHOST
Do
Loren BarryHOST
you like a Sangiovese? Don't mind a Sangiovese if
Matt ThomsonHOST
I don't have any better options.
Loren BarryHOST
Oh.
Matt ThomsonHOST
Sangiovese really comes in at the lower end of the market.
Matt ThomsonHOST
Oh, my God.
Brad MorganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It works very well up here for southern, warmer climate grapes.
Brad MorganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, some Cabs, some Merlots.
Brad MorganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And it just adds about a month on either end of the... seasons.
Brad MorganSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
All of our vineyards are on Old Mission Peninsula.
Cristina MercuriGUEST
And the interesting thing is that they were focusing on mainly red wines, mainly based on similar to Supertascan.
Cristina MercuriGUEST
So they were using Cabernet, but they were using also Sangiovese.
Cristina MercuriGUEST
But now they created the new denomination for white wines, mainly in Vermentino.
Cristina MercuriGUEST
And I think they are quite interesting, actually.
30 MINS LATER
Cristina MercuriGUEST
also communicating more about the style of this wine.
Cristina MercuriGUEST
So many people say, okay, Chianti is a red wine, but can you tell me something more about the style? And then we can discuss about the difference between Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi and Colli Aretini, et cetera, et cetera.
Cristina MercuriGUEST
But then we have to start understanding that Sangiovese has a soul, a DNA, that it's always there, even though it's a Brunello or it's a Chianti or... or something else in Tuscany.
Cristina MercuriGUEST
I think that we can actually focus on what's the style that each grape can bring
Mike HanniganHOST
Actually, I'm really, it's, I was thinking the other day, um...
Mike HanniganHOST
I was listening to something about Sangiovese and I was like, I'm really looking forward to doing more of the international varieties and stuff like that.
Mike HanniganHOST
It's going to be great fun.
Mike HanniganHOST
We're learning so much about wine as we go, which is really fun and exciting.
Carol CollisonHOST
You've won.
Carol CollisonHOST
And then, of course, there was the Sangiovese.
Carol CollisonHOST
Had a moment in the late 90s, early 2000s.
Carol CollisonHOST
And there were some, you know, it didn't work out.
Stephen PannellGUEST
... and just dived down that hole, which is an endless hole you can never get out of.
Stephen PannellGUEST
Um, fell in love with Sangiovese first, and then Nebbiolo was a slow burn until I got there.
Stephen PannellGUEST
Um, yeah, so, so did that.
Anna WebsterHOST
Yeah, cool.
Marnelle DurrettGUEST
hit the flavor profiles.
Marnelle DurrettGUEST
Um, and, uh, Artees is, is, uh, Sangio, oh, Sangiovese.
Marnelle DurrettGUEST
I forgot to tell you about Sangiovese.
Marnelle DurrettGUEST
So we have a Sangiovese cab blend typically, and that Sangiovese brings some acidity and some lightness to it.
Marnelle DurrettGUEST
Um, and then, and we'll harvest the cab a little early for, for the Artees.
Marnelle DurrettGUEST
And, um, That's a beautiful blend that we do that really hits the Pinot, the Willamette style, not the Mayomi drinker.
Joanne CloseHOST
It is not made with the grape Montepulciano.
Joanne CloseHOST
It is made principally from, you guessed it, Sangiovese, right? 'Cause we are in Tuscany, and it is locally known as Prugnolo Gentile.
Joanne CloseHOST
And then we have Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.
Joanne CloseHOST
This is made with the Montepulciano grape in the region of Abruzzo.
Joanne CloseHOST
This is primarily what we're talking about today.
Joanne CloseHOST
We're gonna talk about the grape itself, but also the region Abruzzo because this is where you predominantly find this grape and the wine made from it.
Joanne CloseHOST
If I'm to ask a student to name some Italian grapes, they are inevitably gonna say things like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo.
Joanne CloseHOST
Montepulciano is not gonna be top of mind.
Basile AloyGUEST
Now, I don't know exactly, and I don't believe that most growers apply that, but I think it makes a lot of sense for our strategy, and I don't see it as a major issue we're focusing on.
Basile AloyGUEST
That said, we love the area, and we're extremely proud to be making Sangiovese and Nobile, and we're very linked to it, and we're gonna maintain our link with our other growers and to the brand and the Nobile, et cetera.
Basile AloyGUEST
So we believe in it, but yeah, I would just bypass the Montepulciano story completely.
Peter YeungHOST
And so for those who aren't as familiar, we talked about being from Montepulciano, Sangiovese.
Peter YeungHOST
Can you give us the rest of the overview of what Avignonesi is?
Basile AloyGUEST
We got about 170 hectares farmed, both in Montepulciano and Cortona, which are two areas contiguous to one another.
Basile AloyGUEST
We are focused on Sangiovese.
Basile AloyGUEST
We make a Nobile, which is 100% Sangiovese, and then we make a single vineyard.
Ted DiamantisGUEST
Assyrtiko as a white, Moscofilero as a white.
Ted DiamantisGUEST
Sinomavro, which is more like Pinot Noir meets Barolo meets Barbaresco-like, or Ayurvedico, or it's translated to St. George, which is going to be more like Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Sangiovese.
Ted DiamantisGUEST
So if you think in those terms and put things in little boxes like that, it'll help guide you.
Ted DiamantisGUEST
But be experimental.
