Sangiovese Syrah Wine Kit, Artisan

Overview

You are drawn to wines that balance vitality with depth, wines that feel rooted in tradition yet energized by contrast. With the Sangiovese Syrah Wine Kit, Artisan, you explore a blend favored in central Italy, particularly in Tuscany and Lazio, where bright acidity and savory structure meet darker, more powerful elements. This is a wine for someone who appreciates tension done well, where freshness and weight coexist without compromise. Crafted from premium California grapes and developed by Finer Wine Kits, this kit allows you to create an Italian inspired red that feels expressive, grounded, and confidently modern.

Flavor and Style
As fermentation progresses, you guide a wine defined by harmony and contrast. Sangiovese leads with vibrant cherry, red plum, and naturally bright acidity that gives the wine its unmistakable Italian backbone. Syrah follows with dark berry fruit, cracked pepper, and subtle floral notes that add depth and complexity without overwhelming the blend. The palate is layered and composed, offering savory undertones, polished tannins, and a dry finish that carries fruit and spice with clarity and length. This is a medium to full bodied red wine that feels energetic yet substantial, equally suited to contemplation and the table.

What Makes This Kit Different
This is premium home winemaking built around authenticity rather than shelf stability. You work with raw grape concentrates and real grape skins, not heat processed substitutes designed to endure room temperature storage. Each Artisan kit includes 2 lbs of real grape skins and 2 oz of grape seeds, delivering natural color, texture, and phenolic balance while preserving freshness and definition. In traditional red winemaking, fermenting with skins and seeds is essential to achieving a complete and natural mouthfeel. This approach is why wines made with Finer Wine Kits move beyond the familiar kit taste associated with shelf stable brands and instead express the realism, balance, and depth expected from wines made with fresh grapes.

A Classic Expression of Balance
Artisan wines are designed to finish at 12.5 to 13 percent alcohol, a range long regarded as the classic sweet spot for fine wine. This level preserves acidity and fruit clarity while maintaining structure and length on the palate. The result is a medium to full bodied wine that matures sooner and expresses greater fruit forwardness than higher alcohol wines, allowing balance and complexity to emerge without extended aging.

Cold Stored, Direct to Your Door
This kit is a true agricultural product and cannot sit on a shelf. Because of its perishable nature, it is stored cold and shipped directly from freezer storage to your door, preserving freshness, aroma, and varietal character. This direct to door model is essential to quality and is a defining principle behind every Finer Wine Kits product. By eliminating distributors and wholesalers, you receive top grade ingredients at peak condition without unnecessary markups.

The raw grape concentrate is vacuum evaporated at low temperatures to protect the grape’s intrinsic character and avoid the cooked flavors common in shelf stable kits. If you are not ready to begin immediately, the grape skins must be stored in your freezer, and the raw grape concentrates must be stored at 3 degrees F or colder to preserve quality.
