Details
Close your eyes, take a sip, and you could almost be in a Tuscan ristorante with this red! Full of berries, savoury, dark fruit, and dried herbs. It's only medium-bodied and deliberately goes light on the oak, which makes this style even more drinkable. Go on, try and stop at one glass.
Sales guru Nick Whiteway and renowned McLaren Vale winemaker Goe DiFabio love Sangiovese. And when the opportunity came up to acquire a small parcel of premium Sangiovese grapes from the Vasarelli family’s vineyard in South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, they couldn't help themselves - it was time to go long and make their own Sangiovese. These wines pay tribute to Nick & Goe's favourite drops from Tuscany, just with an Aussie accent. Goe, naturally of Italian descent, and Nick (who secretly wishes he had a Nonna) make wines the way they’d serve them at a family table. Think: sun-kissed San Marzano tomatoes, hand-torn basil, shards of Parmigiano Reggiano, and fresh pasta coated in Nonna’s secret sauce. As Nick says, 'life moves fast, but sometimes it’s important to stop and smell the wine'.

Pairing guide
A good bottle of Sangiovese is always a joy to behold, not least because it’s one of those wine styles that pairs fantastically well with the kind of comfort food we crave after a long day. Nick & Goe's red is the ideal pairing partner for a homemade pizza or lasagna, a steaming bowl of puttanesca or arrabbiata pasta, and all kinds of slow-cooked and tomato-based stews and casseroles. Shepherd’s pie, chilli con carne, bolognese and homemade squash and sage ravioli will work a treat, and it’s also excellent with a cheesy chicken pasta bake, or chicken thighs with a heap of parmesan.

Wine region

Currency Creek, Australia
Currency Creek is a wine region in South Australia, near the coastal town of Goolwa. The region has a cool maritime climate that avoids extremes of hold and cold weather. The climate is cooler than Langhorne Creek, and being west facing, it bears some climatic similarities to Margaret River, WA; as you may have guessed, Cabernet Sauvignon performs well here, showing well-defined varietal character, and with cooler vintages showing notes of coffee, becoming rich and more fruity, black berried as it becomes riper. Other well-suited varieties include Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz and Merlot. The soils in Currency Creek are mainly composed of deep, fertile alluvial deposits and provide good drainage, which contributes to the quality of the grapes and the wines produced. Lack of rainfall can be an issue in the region, thankfully there’s groundwater is readily available to compensate during dry seasons.
