Inspired by the love of Italian Super Tuscan Sangiovese blends, Terra Valentine created Amore. They source the Sangiovese from Piero Antinori's vineyard located at 1600 feet elevation in the Atlas Peak appellation of the eastern hills of the Napa Valley. The Sangiovese gets a 5 day cold soak prior to fermentation and is punched down daily in our automated punch-down tanks. The wine is aged in French Oak 300L puncheon, of which 25% are new. At the time of blending, They blend in small amounts of our estate Cabernets and Merlot to fill out the palate and create a seamless blend that showcases the bright strawberry and blueberry fruit of the Sangiovese.
