2024 Stolpman Love You Bunches Sangiovese

Nailing a high wire of open, lovely, inviting ripeness backed by a taut tangy crunch. 2024 is one of the denser vintages of Love You Bunches Sangiovese, harkening back to the origin vintages of the teens. Tasting the wine upon release, I’m brought right back to tasting whole grapes as we dug out the carbonic tanks. A whimsical cherry cola note gives the wine broad appeal over a more serious “sangre” carnal note.
From the aromatic, juicy nose and front palate, the wine levitates into a lighter form through the mid palate. In the purity of its youth, an adult tannin structure punctuates the finish and that dryness will integrate beautifully through the summer of 2025; perfect timing for these happy bottles of love to be consumed with sunshine and grilled meats.
