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.
91 Points Robert Parker: "There are 1,200 cases of the dark ruby-colored 2005 Sangiovese. Aged in neutral old wood, it tastes like a strawberry jam cocktail with lots of new saddle leather, spice, and underbrush notes. Medium-bodied and richly fruity with loads of character, it is a remarkable effort given how difficult it has been for this grape to achieve this level of quality in California. Drink it over the next 3-4 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."
