Juicy and immediately inviting, this wine bursts with ripe red cherries at the core. It's fresh and vibrant with a touch of black cherry and plum alongside subtle mineral, stony notes that keep things lifted. On the palate, red liquorice and cracked black pepper add some spice to this bright, fruit-forward and seriously easy to enjoy red, with a lively, peppery finish.

Origin: Southern Italy. Mainly Grown In: Italy, Argentina and parts of the New World, like Australia. Key Facts: Sangiovese is THE Italian grape - the Da Vinci of the Italian wine world - Complex, awe-inspiring and a curious balance of sophistication and rusticity. In addition to being Italy’s most planted red grape, It was on the reputation of this grape that the Italian wine industry was built, and for good reason. Its bright-faced acidity, classic mouth-puckering sour cherry flavours and herbal Mediterranean touch (like savoury notes of oregano and thyme) are as earthy and rustic as they are seductive. And if Da Vinci was right that "nature is the source of all true knowledge", well wine lovers, let's drink from nature herself. Fun fact: Sangiovese loves to grow in Calcareous soils (clay/limestone).
