Sangiovese in this is the grape variety from which the famous Chianti and Brunello wines are produced in Italy. The Romans transferred the Sangiovese grapes that grew in the Land of Israel and made them the leading variety in the Italian wine industry. In time, the strain disappeared from the country and was only recently returned to it. This wine is made from the Sangiovese grapes grown in the Galilean vineyard and harvested under optimal conditions of ripening. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels.

Hadas and Zvika arrived in Alon HaGalil in 1984, two members of the moshav who strive to continue the family tradition of farming in the young moshav. In 1986, it was decided to plant a vineyard and began working as farmers in the settlement, with a desire to deepen roots in the lands of the Alon HaGalil. Today, all members of the family live in the community and work in agriculture and the family business.
