About Sagrantino: Our estate grown Sagrantino is a boutique-scale effort and one of only three wineries in the entire United States dedicated this variety. The Sonocaia Sagrantino is a traditionally-made deep red wine that transports tasters to the hills of Montefalco, Umbia, Italy. A rare find in California, this varietal is relatively unknown in the new world and is sparking curiosity from both the casual traveller and the serious wine critic. We have painstakingly cultivated this highly regarded Italian varietal with meticulous sustainable farming. The resulting wine makes a bold but very approachable statement. Think of Cabernet or Petite Sirah in complexity and structure, but with the body and finish of a softer wine. The nose offers enticing aromas of red and black fruits, dark chocolate, cedar, earth, savory herbs, and a touch of oak spice. On the palate the wine shows a rich, full body with a lovely, long-lasting finish. These features make Sagrantino a wine that will last nicely throughout an entire meal.

As I’m riding through the breathtaking Canadian Rockies, it’s not just the landscape or the concert I’m headed to that has me reflecting. There’s something about this journey that brings me back to wine, and the way a certain Canadian snack—unexpectedly—ties everything together. You might be wondering, what could this possibly have to do with Sonoma and Sonocaia’s future? Well, there’s a pivotal moment involving a simple pairing that reveals more about our vineyard than you might think. Curious? Wait until you hear about the taste revelation that caught me off guard…
