NOTES: In the 1980's Italian
winemakers found that they could enhance
the overall appeal of their Cabernet
Sauvignon by using Sangiovese as a
blending variety. These wines came to be
known as "Super Tuscans" and today are
highly sought after. Our 2002 Viviano
features Cabernet Sauvignon from the
Newsom family vineyard on the Texas High
Plains and the Sangiovese from our own
Estate Vineyard. Viviano is now
identified as a Super Tuscan Style Red
on our label.
This truly unique wine applies the "terroir"
of Texas to noble grape varieties of
France and Italy.
We recommend the Viviano be served with
rich, full flavored foods, such as lamb,
pastas with red or cheese sauces, fine
cuts of aged beef, or wild game dishes.
For maximum flavor and bouquet we
recommend that you decant this wine 1/2
hour prior to serving. |
