The 2022 Disko Sangiovese is not your average bottle of “serious-as-a-crutch, special-occasion-only red wine—it’s a dance party in a glass, and Sangiovese as a grape variety is finally having its moment in the disco lights. Sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards on California’s Central Coast (because good grapes come from happy dirt), this wine keeps things fresh, vibrant, and just a little bit cheeky.

They ferment it with native yeasts and age it in neutral barrels to let the fruit sing,. The 2022 Disko is all about red cherries, juicy strawberries, a hint of tomato leaf, and a spicy shimmy of clove and cinnamon. The tannins are silky but still present-enough to let you know you’re drinking something with backbone, but not so intense that you’ll feel like you need a steak and a brooding playlist to get through a glass or two.

And why should you drink it? Because Sangiovese doesn’t need to be so serious all the time. This is a good wine to take a stand on. It’s lively, food-friendly, and made by people who clearly love both great wine and a good time. Whether you’re pairing it with pizza, pasta, or an impromptu kitchen dance-off*, the 2022 Disko Sangiovese will absolutely keep the groove going.

*A probably all-too obscure reference to the venerable old syndicated TV show called “Pants Off, Dance Off".
