Notes from the Winemaker:
Made up of equal parts of two clones of Sangiovese, F9 and CH-20, this wine spends one year in stainless steel tanks prior to bottling and is then allowed to rest before shipping. The F9 Sangiovese clone contributes vibrant fruit qualities to the wine and the CH-20 provides structure. The name Ali means “wings” in Italian and is also the name of the winery
owner Lia Tolaini-Banville’s daughter. The artwork from the label is a detail of Cupid from the original artwork for the Bramosia Chianti Classico label by Rik Olsen.

What Does It Taste Like?
This wine has aromas of juicy red berry fruit. Medium-bodied and soft on
the palate, with balanced acidity and ripe tannins. Delicious with
pastas and grilled meats, yet also very drinkable without food.
