2008 Margerum Buoni Anni Cent Anni Sangiovese

For Buoni Anni, the Sangiovese grapes are sourced from top vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley. Sangiovese, which gets its name from Sanguis Jovis ("the blood of Jove"), makes compelling wine and for Buoni Anni it is judiciously blended with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to expand the expression. Buoni Anni is barrel fermented in 500 liter upright wooden puncheons and then aged 20 months in neutral puncheons in our cool cellar. This Italian style wine is fruit forward with a dry finish and makes it the perfect compliment with any meal.
