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 grown in two vineyards: the Miyano Pass vineyard, reclaimed from limestone rocky wasteland, and the Old Glory vineyard, a south-facing slope. Both vineyards use the "Okayama Method" trellis cultivation, a cultivation technique and production management method that produces high-quality table grapes that Okayama is proud of.
Like the white wine, the brewing is simple and standard, aiming to bring out the maximum individuality of the grapes. Adding Nebbiolo makes the color slightly brighter, but the wine has tannins and suppleness. It is aged for about 12 months in French oak barrels from Tronçais, with a gentle attack, and I think you can enjoy the aroma's lingering scent that opens up over time.
The name "QAUGURA" is a coined term combining the traditional culture rooted in this area, Bitchu Kagura, and the Italian word "augura" (hope). The label expresses the powerful dance of Bitchu Kagura in the taste of the wine.
