Join San Francisco Wine Enthusiasts Guild for a private tasting of the highly regarded limited releases of Sangervasio, a Tuscan winery located near Pisa. The owner, Luca Tommasini, will lead guests through a tasting of four of his wines, discussing winemaking in Tuscany and how he attempts to capture its "terroir". The wines will be paired with antipasti from A.G. Ferrari Foods.

Mr. Tommasini will be pouring the following wines:

Terra d'Aligi Pecorino, IGT 2006 - 100% Pecorino. Terra d'Aligi is the super-premium offering from the Spinelli family, who source the best fruit from nearly 400 hectares of hillside vineyards for these wines. Delicious, interesting wine made from the indigenous Pecorino varietal. Medium bodied with hints of melon on the palate, nice crisp acidity on the finish.

Sangervasio Rosso, IGT 2004 - 70% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot, 10% Cabernet. Tuscany, Colline Pisane. Rich, spicy and minerally aromas, with ripe, grapey fruit. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine, fruit-coated tannins and spicy fruit and a hint of tangy oak on the finish.

Sangervasio I Renai, IGT 2003 - 100% Merlot. Tuscany, Colline Pisane. Deep ruby red with rich fruity aromas of blackberry and cherry followed by toasty cocoa and tobacco.

Sangervasio A Sirio, IGT 2003 - 95% Sangiovese, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Tuscany, Colline Pisane. Big and blousy with crushed berry, tobacco and cedar aromas. Full-bodied, round and silky with a beautiful finish. Lots of vanilla and berry character.
