An Australian Sangiovese made by an Australian Italian Family. Not particularly Sangiovese like the real deal but it does have cherry, dark chocolate and aromas of decayed matter. I recall Peter Scudamore-Smith MW saying on our Tuscan trip that he didn’t think there were any top Quality Australian Sangioveses made mainly because we are using the wrong clones. Australian Sangiovese seems to be a work in progress. Had another bottle 56 weeks later on 26th March 2020 with similar notes although showing more varietal characters this time of skins, earth and leather.

Dry, green flavours and tannins. A touch of Shiraz and canaola in the blend.
