Tasting notes:
Intense and brilliant ruby red color. On the nose a bouquet of great complexity characterized by evident fruity notes well combined with balsamic notes of great finesse and wood. On the palate a wine of great character and structure that gives volume and gustative persistence. Soft and well balanced tannins with the acid components in a complex of softness and gustatory balance.
Food pairing: Ideal with aged cheeses, roasted game and red meats.
Tasting notes:Tuscanny meets Australia. Sangiovese is usually similar to Cabernet - firm tannins and medium plus acidity. This is deliberately crafted towards the Australian wine drinkers, with soft acidity and tannins. Fine, with scents of wild berry fruits and red flowers. Dry and fresh, with medium body, smooth tannins and well-balanced acidity.
