Sangiovese
$28.00
The 2023 Sangiovese was harvested 28 March 2023, the latest picking date for this variety, with moderate conditions and no heat stress. The grapes were crushed and fermented in a stainless-steel tank with Sangiovese-specific yeast and fruit enzymes to enhance red fruit flavours. After five days of fermentation with daily pump-overs, we chose svinatura for a softer, fruit-driven style. Malolactic fermentation was carried out separately in tank for control, followed by filtration, fining and bottling.
Tasting Notes
This estate-grown Sangiovese displays a pale ruby colour. The concentrated aromas of sweet red and dark fruits transition smoothly from nose to palate, with ripe Amarena cherries, raspberries and strawberries taking centre focus. A subtle spice undertone of cardamom, white pepper and coriander seeds adds complexity to the back palate. The wine’s high concentration unfolds from the front to mid-palate, leading into firm yet fine tannins.
