We just adore today’s wonderful wine. This 2009 Benevolo Sonoma Valley Sangiovese is a delicious wine that shows just how good a California Sangio can be.

Bright, approachable and very easy to drink, this delightful wine shows classic Sangiovese character - while showing off the exciting terroir of the Dry Creek Valley. This is a dark and soulful Sangiovese that just begs to be enjoyed with a great meal. It also has the sort of fruit and structure that makes it a wonderful solo-sipper.

Well balanced and bright, we recommend this wine with nearly any Italian meal. We’ll be enjoying ours with ricotta stuffed pasta shells with a rich marinara sauce, served alongside a caprese salad.
