Casa Magoni, Sangiovese/Cabernet, Valle de Guadalupe, Baja, Mexico, 2022

Overview of the Wine
Born in Valtellina, Italy, Camillo Magoni moved to Baja California in 1965, after studying viticulture and enology in Alba. He worked for almost fifty years at L.A. Cetto winery, and actively participated to the transformation of Baja California’s wine industry. Starting in the 1960s, he bought vineyards and experimented with many varieties, growing over a hundred of them: Chardonnay, Fiano, Viognier, Arneis, Moschofilero, Assyrtiko, Montepulciano, Aglianico, Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, many of them field blends. He sold his grapes to established wineries, and helped them move away from high alcohol reds while developing white wines. In 2012, faced with a surplus of grapes, he decided to start making his own wine. He loves to try new things, and makes many unique cuvées and trial batches. He introduced his Casa Magoni wines in 2016, and is recognized as one of the iconic personality of Baja California. Total production is around 21,000 cases.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
This is an expressive, concentrated, and intense wine. With a firm and round texture, with a medium body. Sangiovese is the most cultivated grape in Italy and the one with the most remarkable clonal diversity. Provides elegant fresh floral notes.Cabernet is a universal variety that is grown at all latitudes and altitudes. Provides body, tannins, structure, and strength.
Our Sangiovese Cabernet is not aged in barrels; its freshness and elegance exalt the primary aromas of the grapes.

Color is purple-red with a pinkish shade in the edge, proper of a young wine. Aromas of medium intensity, fresh red fruits such as strawberry, cherry and raspberry. Hibiscus floral note fills the nose at the end. Tastes of medium to high acidity, and low-tannic structure; kind to any type of palate. Light and balanced in mouth.

Pairs well with pastas, pork or non- elaborated dishes like pizza, salads or burgers.
