Details
Sangiovese can make some of the best pizza rosé on the planet, and this rosato feels every bit like the sort of pale pink wine we want to drink. There's a little cherry blossom and peach in what is otherwise a light, super approachable, damn delightful drink.

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
Nick & Goe have delivered the most pizza-friendly drink around. It's wonderful with the whole spectrum of pizza, plus a wonderful option for prosciutto, salami and the whole spectrum of cured meats, 'nduja and any pasta that introduces some spice. We love it with salads that pack a kick too, although it's a bit too savoury for really heavy-duty hot dishes (so avoid the mouth-burning buffalo wings and go with a medium curry instead).

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.
