Union Sacre is a boutique winery known for its innovative approach to winemaking, often blending traditional techniques with modern flair. The Sangio Carbonic Sangiovese is a unique expression of the Sangiovese grape, utilizing carbonic maceration to enhance its fruit-forward profile. This technique, typically associated with Beaujolais, results in a wine that is vibrant and aromatic, with notes of fresh red berries, cherries, and a hint of floral undertones. The wine hails from California, a region celebrated for its diverse terroir and ability to produce expressive varietals. The palate is lively with a balanced acidity and soft tannins, making it an excellent pairing with Italian cuisine, particularly tomato-based dishes and grilled meats.
