Details
The team at Ke Bonta have a serious reputation for pumping out amazing varietal wine at stunning value. This is undeniably Sangiovese with black cherry, leather and tobacco notes, well formed tannins and bags of character. Don't know what a classic Sangiovese should taste like? Try this!
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 is present in all Chianti wine - which means Hannibal Lecter is quite fond of Sangiovese!

Pairing guide
We can’t help but get excited whenever we discover a new Sangiovese wine to try, and this beauty from Ke Bonta was no exception. Evoking lush hillscapes and lazy afternoons in the sun, this delicious wine is ideal for pairing with Italian aperitivo dishes, especially those which combine olives, roasted tomatoes, basil and garlic. Spaghetti puttanesca is always a great match with Sangiovese, as is lasagna, pizza, bolognese, arrabbiata, and family favourites like chilli con carne. You’ll get great results with roast pork and beef dishes, and it’s also fabulous with meatballs (or a vegetarian alternative) Fiorentina steak, charcuterie, and mushrooms.

Wine region
Puglia, Italy
Puglia is a wine region in the "heel" of Italy that is known for its red, white, and rosé wines. The full-bodied red wines are often made with Negroamaro and Primitivo grapes, while the whites are usually made with Verdeca and Fiano grapes. Puglia has a hot, sunny climate which helps the grapes ripen fully and gives the wines a rich flavour. The region is also home to some unique grape varieties, like Nero di Troia and Bombino Nero. So, if you're a fan of Italian wine, definitely give Puglia a try! Historically Puglia has been better known for its quantity of wine over its quality. But thanks to a number of quality-focused producers, the region is turning that narrative around.
