This barrel-aged cider blend captures a rustic elegance, weaving together the tartness of a fermented apple base with the sophisticated structure of twenty percent Sangiovese wine. The sensory profile is defined by an interplay of vibrant red fruit and earthy oak, where the Sangiovese grapes lend distinct notes of red cherry, pomegranate, and a touch of savory spice. Effervescent and dry, it highlights the bright acidity of the cider while the barrel aging introduces soft tannins and a subtle vanilla depth. The result is a complex, vinous experience that bridges the gap between traditional orchard fruit and old-world red wine, finishing with a crisp, lingering dryness.
Appearance.Presents a brilliant, pale ruby to deep copper hue with exceptional clarity; a light, effervescent white head forms briefly before dissipating into a fine rim, leaving minimal lacing but displaying noticeable legs on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity with a complex bouquet of tart green apples and red berry esters; distinct Sangiovese character brings notes of sun-dried cherry and a hint of tomato leaf, supported by toasted oak, light vanilla, and a faint, rustic earthiness from the barrel.
Taste.Initial impression is bone-dry and sharply acidic; flavors of crisp malic apple are layered with the tannic grip of red grapes, offering notes of cranberry and spicy black pepper; no hop flavor or bitterness; the finish is remarkably clean, dry, and mouth-watering with lingering fruit skin tannins.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a sharp, crisp texture; high carbonation provides a lively, scrubbing prickle on the tongue; moderate alcohol warmth is well-integrated; light to moderate tannic astringency from the grape skins and oak aging enhances the structure.
