Stolpman Vineyards Sangiovesse 22

Stolpman's Ballard Canyon estate in Santa Barbara County is one of the few California properties where Sangiovese really sings — the hot, dry days and limestone-rich soils mirror the grape's Italian homeland. The 2022 estate Sangiovese is earthy and structured: sour cherry, dried tomato, leather, and dried herbs with firm, food-loving tannins. Break out the pasta.
