Mas Magnan "Come Prima" Sangiovese 2025

From young Sangiovese vines, light and crunchy red berries with subtle chalky tannin and fresh acidity. Red licorice also comes through on the palate along with supple tannins. A wine with finesse, infusion and acidity, this is very drinkable and perfect a little chilled.

Inspired by an ancient tradition of Saint Christol, the wines known as "one-night wines" refer to their short maceration, resulting in fruity and ethereal wines. This Sangiovese cuvée, named "Come Prima" (meaning "as before" in Italian), is a nod to this long-lost tradition. It represents the brothers' commitment to addressing climate change and adapting their vineyard to the challenges and constraints of tomorrow.

100% Sangiovese. This wine is made from whole bunch maceration for 72 hours before direct pressing. The juice is then fermented cleanly in stainless steel vats with native yeasts, producing a wine that refuses to mask its origin behind heavy oak or cellar manipulation. Aged eight months in vat, no fining before bottling.

Guilhem and Hugo’s story begins over a century ago, when their ancestors settled as farm workers near the extinct volcano Mont Ferrier. In 1905, after the phylloxera crisis, Lucien Fraysse planted the family’s first vines. For generations, the Fraysse family expanded their vineyard holdings while living off the land. Guilhem and Hugo took the reins in 2020. Committed to organic farming and ecological responsibility, they farm their 10 hectares in IGP Pays d'Hérault organically with extra care -- no herbicides, no chemical fertilizers, only native yeasts, and further, ensuring all their suppliers are eco-conscious.
