CasaSmith Cinghiale Sangiovese Red Wine – 750ml

Discover exceptional terroir-driven wines born from two distinct Columbia River sites. Our premium blend showcases:

Vineyards Rosebud (88%):
Nestled alongside Wahluke Slope and Northridge vineyards, this parcel rests above flood plains on ancient alluvial gravel beds. Beneath rich topsoil lies caliche-enriched basalt bedrock, creating calcium and iron-dense earth that naturally stresses vines. This unique foundation yields grapes with remarkable concentration and distinctive minerality – the hallmark of truly expressive wines.

Northridge Vineyard (12%):
Perched at higher elevation above the Missoula Flood plain, Northridge features fine sandy loam over silica limestone soils. Cooler evening temperatures extend the growing season significantly, allowing for slow, balanced ripening. This extended hang-time develops intense flavor complexity while preserving vibrant acidity – crafting wines with exceptional structure and age-worthy depth.

Why This Terroir Excels:
– Mineral-Rich Complexity: Caliche and limestone soils impart signature earthy notes
– Natural Concentration: Gravel beds & temperature swings optimize grape intensity
– Cool-Climate Balance: Elevation-driven diurnal shifts ensure freshness meets power
– Distinct Columbia River Identity: Ancient flood deposits create inimitable growing conditions
