WINE DESCRIPTION
Ferrari Carano Siena is a premium red wine produced by Ferrari Carano Winery in Sonoma County, California. The wine is named after the picturesque Tuscan town of Siena, which is known for its rich history and stunning architecture. The grapes used to make this wine are sourced from select vineyards in the Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, and Russian River Valley appellations. The vineyards are characterized by their diverse soils, elevations, and microclimates, which contribute to the wine's complexity and depth of flavor. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle handling, and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a blend of Sangiovese, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, with a rich and full-bodied style that is both elegant and approachable.
