Megan Bell's Margins project sources from underrepresented California regions and grape varieties - her words, and a perfect description of what she does. This Sangiovese comes from Mesa del Sol vineyard in the hot Arroyo Seco AVA of Monterey, and Bell has worked with this site since 2017, making this one of her longer-running vineyard relationships. Bell farms organically, ferments with native yeasts, and works without temperature control, fining, or filtration. The result is a Sangiovese that tastes like California but reads like Chianti - sour cherry, dried herbs, real grip. A naturalist's Italian-grape California red that finally gets the variety right.
