Select lots of grapes were chosen from our vineyards in Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys to create a beautifully balanced and medium-bodied wine. SIENA is supple and ripe with heady fruit aromas of fresh picked red and black berries complemented by cinnamon and mocha. Juicy cherry and raspberry jam flavors are followed by a round, viscous finish of milk chocolate and butterscotch. Excellent red fruit vitality is met by good acidity, round, gentle tannins and a lingering finish. Vintage Notes From our valley floor and mountainside vineyards, our vines for the SIENA are farmed in shallow, rocky, low-vigor soil that adds impressive depth and concentration of flavor intensity to the wine. A wet winter, light spring rains and a mild summer ensured a healthy canopy which provided the perfect combination of sunlight and heat penetrating the Sangiovese clusters. These conditions allowed the Sangiovese to reach full maturity in both flavor and tannin structure. Harvest was completed the beginning of October. Winemakers Notes This wine is composed of primarily Sangiovese, blended with small amounts of Malbec and Zinfandel. Grapes were hand-harvested, and upon entering the winery, hand-sorted and then gravity fed directly into tanks for five days of cold soaking. Individual lots were moved to barrels for malolactic fermentation, then blended and barrel aged in new Hungarian Puncheons and older French oak in the wine caves for 14 months, with an additional two months of bottle aging prior to release. Food Pairings Siena pairs perfectly with savory Italian dishes, pasta with flavorful tomato sauces or pizza. Siena is also good with American favorites such as chicken and lamb. Appellation: Sonoma County Blend: 80% Sangiovese 16%, Malbec and 4% Zinfandel Cooperage: 20% new Hungarian Puncheon, 80% older French Oak Release Day: July 2007 <img height="65" src="https://www.nexternal.com/fcwinery/images/p_glass-red.jpg" width="37" />Rhonda's Receipe and Pairing Notes <a href="http://www.ferraricarano.com/wine-food/recipes/spring/risotto-gorgonzola-asparagus.aspx" target="http://www.ferraricarano.com/wine-food/recipes/spring/risotto-gorgonzola-asparagus.aspx">Risotto with Gorgonzola and Asparagus</a> Because the Sangiovese grape is from Italy, most Italian dishes go well with Siena. Serve our Siena with veal cutlets parmigiana, pasta with flavorful tomato sauces or pizza. The Siena is also good with American favorites such as hamburgers, pork and salads. Try this wine with cheese and fruits to seal in the unique flavors of Siena. <LI>SKU: 184105 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://shop.fcwinery.com/Category1" TITLE="Classic Wines">Classic Wines</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product52 TITLE="2006 Pinot Grigio">2006 Pinot Grigio</A> -- 2006- Pinot Grigio Russian River Valley <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product100 TITLE="2007 Pinot Grigio">2007 Pinot Grigio</A> -- 2007- Pinot Grigio Russian River Valley <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product125 TITLE="2008 Pinot Grigio">2008 Pinot Grigio</A> -- 2008- Pinot Grigio Russian River and Alexander Valley <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product33 TITLE="2005 Sauvignon Blanc - Sonoma County">2005 Sauvignon Blanc - Sonoma County</A> -- 2005 Sauvignon Blanc - Sonoma County <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product76 TITLE="2006 Sauvignon Blanc - Sonoma County">2006 Sauvignon Blanc - Sonoma County</A> -- 2006 Sauvignon Blanc - Sonoma County <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product51 TITLE="2006 Fume Blanc - Sonoma County">2006 Fume Blanc - Sonoma County</A> -- 2006 Fume Blanc <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product97 TITLE="2007 Fume Blanc - Sonoma County">2007 Fume Blanc - Sonoma County</A> -- 2007 Fume Blanc <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product126 TITLE="2008 Fume Blanc - Sonoma County">2008 Fume Blanc - Sonoma County</A> -- 2008 Fume Blanc <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product1 TITLE="2005 Fume Blanc - Sonoma County">2005 Fume Blanc - Sonoma County</A> -- 2005 Fume Blanc <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product41 TITLE="2005 Chardonnay - Alexander Valley">2005 Chardonnay - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2005 Chardonnay <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product94 TITLE="2006 Chardonnay - Alexander Valley">2006 Chardonnay - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2006 Chardonnay <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product98 TITLE="2006 Siena - Sonoma County">2006 Siena - Sonoma County</A> -- 2006 Siena <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product127 TITLE="2007 Siena - Sonoma County">2007 Siena - Sonoma County</A> -- 2007 Siena <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product68 TITLE="2005 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley">2005 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley</A> -- 2005 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product111 TITLE="2006 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley">2006 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley</A> -- 2006 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product82 TITLE="2005 Merlot - Sonoma County">2005 Merlot - Sonoma County</A> -- 2005 Merlot <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product121 TITLE="2006 Merlot - Sonoma County">2006 Merlot - Sonoma County</A> -- 2006 Merlot <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product63 TITLE="2005 Cabernet Sauvignon - Alexander Valley">2005 Cabernet Sauvignon - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon <LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product118 TITLE="2006 Cabernet Sauvignon - Alexander Valley">2006 Cabernet Sauvignon - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon <A HREF="http://shop.fcwinery.com" TITLE="Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery Products">Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.ferrari-carano.com">Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery</A> Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
