60% Sangiovese, 20% Grenache, 20% Zinfandel
2017 Mendocino, California
12% alc/vol
Zero grams of sugar per can
My years working with an all Italian wine list converted me from an occasional Sangiovese drinker to an obsessive one. The prevalence of mediocre Sangiovese in the 70s and 80s has led to an overall meh perception of the grape.
HOWEVER, when she’s good she’s sensational; she smacks of tobacco, leather, every flavor of cherry one could imagine and the aromas akin to sticking your entire face into a mid-summer garden in bloom.
We blended some other personal favorites: Grenache for its fun, pure burst of strawberry and old vine zinfandel for its depth and bright dark fruit. The result: a bright, zippy, crushable red. I recommend throwing a light chill on it.
All produced in smaller lots and aged in neutral barrels. Grenache aged for 12 months, Sangiovese and zinfandel aged for 9 months. This time in the barrel allows the wine to soften so that when we put it into a can it’s ready to drink.

I live alone and don’t want to waste wine or be forced to finish a bottle. Nomadica tastes great and is a perfect option for me.

Pretty, unassuming red you can drink over and over again; dress it up, dress it down, it works for all occasions. Completely accessible to any kind of palate for red wine i.e. if you ONLY like regional Italians or Santa Ynez Valley, there will be things you will recognize and appreciate. In other words, I can share one (or three) with my in-laws who have much different taste and we are all happy.

I bought this as a present for my sister because she drinks low sugar wines. But, of course, I had to try one. Guess I'll be needing to place another order. So good!

What's not to love? The wine is delicious and pairs with everything, the art is incredible, the branding is thoughtful, and the whole thing is eco-friendly. You can tell that attention has been paid to every last detail.

Gave this as a Christmas gift and it was loved by the recipient. Particularly enjoyed the size (not too much or too little).
