What to Expect

Sangiovese's claim to fame is its role as the heart of Chianti, Brunello and many Super Tuscan wines though it is gaining ground as a varietal wine around the globe. When grown in a suitable location the grape's soft tannins, succulent acidity and moderately intense cherry and herb flavors make Sangiovese very easy to drink as well as supremely versatile at the dinner table.

Rating: 17/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson Sangiovese 100% 16-18 mths in Allier barrels, 12 mths in bottle Very dark crimson. Intense and lively nose. Very full, spreads across the palate. Transparent and already quite evolved. Chewy finish. Well sculpted. Quite a hot finish though.
