Aprile Super Oakville Blend


Aprile Super Oakville Blend is our interpretation of the great super Tuscans. Aprile also underscores our commitment to varietal integrity amongst all of our wines because the farming of world-class Sangiovese is difficult and mandates a passion and attention to detail reserved only for the most dedicated winegrowers. We blend a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon to add a bit of weight on the palate, but our goal with each vintage is for the pure essence of the Sangiovese grape to shine. Aprile is a wine meant to be shared with family and friends over a lovingly prepared meal. The aging potential is something we are only just beginning to understand, but we can comfortable say 10+ years.
