Altamura 2006 Sangiovese, Napa Valley
Purchase
Altamura makes perhaps the finest Sangiovese in California and if you are new to the varietal it will please even the most die-hard fans of Cabernet, Syrah or Zinfandel.
92 Points Robert Parker: "The dark plum/ruby-hued, seductive 2006 Sangiovese exhibits notes of sweet cigar tobacco intermixed with plums, balsamic, strawberries, and black cherries. Round, generous, medium to full-bodied, and disarming, it should be consumed over the next 4-6 years...Altamura continues to impress me, not only for their Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, but also for one of the finest California Sangioveses money can buy."

Altamura Winery
Altamura Vineyards
Altamura Vineyards and Winery was established in 1985 by Frank and Karen Altamura and is the only winery located in Wooden Valley. Well-known wineries such as Stags' Leap Winery, Pahlmeyer, and Caymus purchase grapes from this area, yet Altamura is the first to capture the uniqueness of the area in a bottling. Frank and Karen have a decidedly hands-on approach to every step of the growing and winemaking process. Thus a natural production limit is established and the wines reflect this deep commitment to quality.
