Sangiovese dons a darker dress in Lorenzo's 'Amaranto' cuvée. We love the black pepper and charcoal character, with subtle notes of blue fruit and spice. The tannins are firm, but fair with a lovely sinewy chew, balancing out fresh acidity. A powerful wine.

Podere San Cristoforo is owned and headed up by the talented Lorenzo Zonin. Prosecco drinkers might be familiar with the name Zonin, as these are one of the largest producers of the nation's favourite fizz, with estates also in Tuscany, Puglia and Sicily. Lorenzo, however, has chosen to walk his own impressive path. San Cristoforo is farmed according to biodynamic practice and the wines are sensational. Naturally, being in Tuscany, Sangiovese is a big focus, however, Lorenzo has also crafted some impressive Petit Verdot from sandy soils, as well as stunning white wines from the Vernaccia grape variety. These range from crisp and pure in style, to much richer, more Burgundian-esque wines. Finally, Lorenzo has created the world's first Pét Nat sparkling wine made from Vernaccia (Rebel). All of these wines are brand new not only to Good Pair Days but to the UK as well. Enjoy!
