the Cigno Sangiovese

The Il Cigno vineyards are located in warm Italy, specifically in the Terre di Chieti wine region. There, the Il Cigno family has been crafting exquisite red and white wines for years. The name Il Cigno, which literally translates to "the Swan," comes from a group of magnificent swans that are always found on the lake. The beauty of the swans, the subtle influences of the lake on the vines, and the beauty of Italy all come together in this bottle of red wine. Over the years, the family has invested heavily in modern winemaking techniques and in the vineyards. The Sangiovese grapes, among others, are carefully bred in accordance with all Italian traditions. It's no wonder this red wine is often served in upscale restaurants, as there's truly nothing better available from Terre di Chieti at this price.
