In 1846, Jacob Brodbeck sailed from Germany and settled in Luckenbach, Texas. His dream was to fly like the birds he saw overhead the ship on his voyage to America. He crafted blueprints of an “Air-Ship”, to be flown by an “aeronaut”, and on September 20, 1865, he made his dream a reality. Commemorating his innovative spirit and contributions to modern flight, this medium-bodied Sangiovese blend ascends the palate with soft red fruit, and glides effortlessly to a smooth and graceful finish.
