Okayama Wine Valley / QAUGURA Sangiovese 2020 (Red) 750ml
Regular price ¥5,500This red wine mainly uses the Italian grape variety Sangiovese, combined with another Italian variety, Nebbiolo. The grapes are carefully cultivated using the "Okayama Method" trellis system, a cultivation and production management technique renowned for producing high-quality table grapes in Okayama. The grapes come from two vineyards: the Miyano Pass vineyard, reclaimed from limestone-strewn wasteland, and the old Sakae vineyard, a south-facing slope.
Like the white wine, the brewing is simple and standard, aiming to bring out the maximum character of the grapes. Adding Nebbiolo makes the color slightly brighter, resulting in a wine with noticeable tannins and suppleness. It is aged for about 12 months in French oak barrels from Tronçais, with a gentle attack and an aroma that opens up over time for you to enjoy the lingering finish.
The name "QAUGURA" is a coined term combining the traditional local culture of Bitchu Kagura and the Italian word "augura" (hope). The label expresses the powerful dance of Bitchu Kagura in the taste of the wine.
