Considering his surname and his focus, it’s natural for Mark Pasculli and his young brand to score gold medals in two international judgings for his Sangiovese and see it turn Platinum. This marks the fourth Platinum in three years for our 2023 Idaho Winery to Watch, and it’s an exemplary example of the variety. Aromatics include dried cherries, oregano, roasted tomatoes and intense hints of espresso and resin. On the palate, it’s flirtatious, masculine and complex with those same notes while picking up white pepper and chilies. Qualifying awards: Sunset International (gold), Cascadia International (gold)
