, Sangiovese Conceived as a homage to the pioneering game-changing ‘Super Tuscan’ Vino da Tavola blends of Firenze (specifically Marchesi Antinori’s ‘Solaia’ from their Tenuta Tignanello) and Bolgheri in western central Italy. This blend of the intensely fruited traditional Bordelaise grape variety with the earthy asperity of Sangiovese takes strengths from each of its requisite components to make a wine of regal rusticity that treads a path a little less travelled.
Slow-cooked ragu.
The aroma is anchored by a rare and captivating earthiness, complemented by a medley of red and black wild fruits, currants, plums, and sarsaparilla, all interwoven with savory hints of nutmeg, olive tapenade, maquis, and charred capretto, topped with a leafy note.
The palate is dense yet elegant, bursting with juicy flavours of mulberry, blood orange, Amaretto, Szechuan pepper, black tea, and cocoa powder. The rich and expressive palate resonates with dark fruits, a delicate acid line, and a slow-building structure of graphitic tannins. This wine is vegan-friendly.
