Sposa e Sposa, Heartland
The fascinating Lagrein shows great complexity now that the vines have some age. Look for blackberries and black spice! The Dolcetto softens the palate and offers a burst of fruit to please and entice. This is designed for immediate pleasure, but has enough structure for a few years of cellaring.
Heartland Dolcetto and Lagrein is a blend of two northern Italian varieties that are ideally suited to the Langhorne Creek climate & being planted in the sandy loam soils which the region boasts.
The Lagrein was matured in new French oak barrels after fermentation to create a rounder, softer texture. The Dolcetto was cool fermented on skins for seven days before being crushed and matured in stainless steel in order to preserve the fresh, floral notes of the variety.
Perfect for enjoying with Italian food – a bowl of fresh pasta or a crispy wood oven pizza.
