Sangiovese
Winemakers Notes
The Sangiovese is the most notable and loved wine from the house of KRSMA Estates. This is the first vintage from our vineyard that made its mark as a modern, new world Sangiovese for the Indian palate.
Crafted using fully ripe Sangiovese grapes, this wine is dark crimson in color, complex in its own way yet revealing its fruit-forward nature on the nose and palate. Explore notes of boysenberries, blueberries, dark plums, oregano, smoke, and earthiness complimented with expressive, dusty tannins and an explicable finish.

Winemakers Notes
This vintage came at a time when its predecessor had already marked its presence in the Indian wine scenario, and well stood up to it with its complexity and mysterious remarkability.
This wine has a pronounced fruit-forward nose as opposed to its traditional, rustic style. On the palate, it is well rounded with its cassis, blueberry, and sour cherry notes along with hints of forest leaves and star anise. Decant it a bit longer and layers of fig, mulberry leaves, and vanilla encounter a pleasing palate.

Winemakers Notes
The 2014 vintage takes us on a journey of exploring a variety of flavors ranging from red tart cherries, plum, strawberries, roasted peppers, and a hint of tomato, fig and anise. The oak maturation lends on a certain suppleness to the tannins that help in balancing out the otherwise dense flavors of this characteristic style of Sangiovese.

Winemakers Notes
This is a classic Sangiovese, not huge, not massive, yet taut, feisty, and a powerhouse of explorable flavors. A formidable palate of ripe plums, pomegranate, star anise, and sour red cherries backed with undertones of vanilla, fig, a characteristic sourness, and chewy, lingering tannins that leave your palate wanting for more.
One sip will never be enough for this intense and very likable Sangiovese.

Winemakers Notes
This is the last vintage of the signature Sangiovese from the house of KRSMA Estates.
And it does not disappoint. An aromatic assault of kirsch, fresh raspberry, boysenberries, and hints of mulberry, vanilla, and a pleasant fig undertone balances out the expected acidity on the palate. This wine speaks all things balance – with respect to fruit, oak, and a certain raciness – the best to date!

Winemakers Notes
Our limited edition release features the exclusive 2017 vintage – much like you, we have come to adore our Sangiovese grape and all it has to offer. With luck, we may have exceptional new vintages in the future, but for now – this is the last hurrah for the Sangiovese by KRSMA – and it expresses itself with a bang! The wine speaks of suave and velvety silkiness like no other. On the nose, it exudes hints of redcurrant, sour cherries, elderberries, and undertones of tobacco and vanilla. It displays its exemplary maturity and age with pleasing tertiary notes of forest floor and leather, and leaves a lusciously smooth finish on the palate, decadently asking for another sip.
