Sangiovese Merlot Wine Kit, Prodigy

Overview

You appreciate wines that feel inviting yet rooted in tradition, wines that balance brightness with softness in a way that feels instinctive and unforced. With the Sangiovese Merlot Wine Kit, Prodigy, you explore a blend long favored in the vineyards of Tuscany and Lazio, where Sangiovese’s energy is paired with Merlot’s natural roundness. This is a wine for someone who values harmony and ease, where heritage inspires the style but expression remains personal. Crafted from premium California grapes and developed by Finer Wine Kits, this kit allows you to create a wine that feels warm, balanced, and effortlessly enjoyable.

Flavor and Style
As fermentation unfolds, you guide a wine that brings lift and softness into graceful alignment. Sangiovese leads with bright cherry and red berry notes, offering freshness and lively acidity. Merlot follows with ripe plum, subtle earth, and a smooth, rounded texture that softens the edges and deepens the mid palate. The finish is dry and clean, carrying fruit and gentle savory notes with clarity. This is a light to medium bodied red blend that feels fruit forward, smooth, and naturally versatile.

Designed for Natural Expression
Prodigy wines are designed to emphasize clarity, freshness, and fruit definition. Finishing at 12 to 12.5 percent alcohol, this Sangiovese Merlot blend maintains aromatic lift and balance while avoiding excess weight on the palate. The structure develops smoothly over a shorter aging window, allowing the wine’s bright fruit and supple texture to remain prominent as it matures. The result is a wine that feels fluid, expressive, and naturally proportioned from first pour through full evolution.

Cold Stored, Direct to Your Door
This kit is a true agricultural product and cannot sit on a shelf. It is made with raw grape concentrates that are cold stored and shipped directly to your door to preserve freshness, aroma, and varietal integrity. This cold chain approach is fundamental to how Finer Wine Kits delivers wines that avoid the cooked flavors common in shelf stable kits.

The raw grape concentrate is vacuum evaporated at low temperatures to protect the grape’s natural character. If you are not ready to begin immediately, the concentrate must be stored at 3 degrees F or colder to maintain quality.
