Scapolo's Charm
Sangiovese
This appellation is named after the Rubicone River, which Julius Caesar famously crossed at the start of the Roman Civil War. In Rubicone, Sangiovese reigns supreme. Our winemaking partners who created this beautiful wine are some of the most well-known producers in the world, having been owned and operated by the same family since 1928. Harvest for this vintage was typical, and the fruit was near-perfect, according to the winemakers. The fruit was kept on the skins to maintain structure and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks began about a week following harvest. They crafted wine in a distinctly Old World style. Full-bodied and lush, it features velvety tannins, sweetness from dark fruit flavors, and savory, herbaceous notes. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Rubicone IGT](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/3476/normal/Italy_Rubicone.png?1616010451)
Rubicone IGT
Crossing the Rubicon was a momentous event for Julius Caesar, although it is difficult to feel the significance today while standing on the banks of this sleepy rural river. The Rubicone includes wines produced in the eastern part of the Emilia-Romagna region, from the hills of Bologna to the Adriatic coast. Sangiovese reigns here, thriving in the rocky Apennine foothills and fertile plains. Modern examples add Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while more traditional wines blend in the local Pignoletto and Ancellotta varieties. Whites are often made from Trebbiano, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Overall, Rubicone wines are well balanced and deliciously quaffable—this is not surprising for a region like Emilia-Romagna, where food and wine are inseparable. The IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) classification system was created to provide more freedom and ease for winemaking within Italy. Wines under the IGT classification are regulated on the region of origin—where within the country grapes are grown—instead of varietals or wine styles as DOC and DOCG laws focus on.

Cherry
Dark red fruit cherry flavors combine with semi-sweet chocolate notes and an approachable acidity. A savory aroma of olive tapenade melds with sweet rosemary notes. This wine is supple, lush, and sure to be gone quickly once opened.
