Cloves, spice and savoury fruit characters.Light to medium red tint with chocloate notes

Named after Alfred Pizzini's grandmother, this is a medium bodied Sangiovese - warm and humble just like its namesake. Aromas of lightly spiced plums and cherries lead to hints of chocolate, leather and lovely savoury characters. The palate is generous and full flavoured with good length, soft tannins and flavours of plums and cherries.

Dal Zotto is a family run winery in the King valley specialising in traditional Italian varietals. Their Barbera is a great example of the variety with ripe blood plums, spice, and a meaty savouriness. A great food friendly style - add a splash to boost your bolognaise!

The bouquet is vibrant with enticing blood plum, cherry, and dark chocolate aromas. A fleshy palate features bright acidity and soft, plush tannins. Damson plum and bramble fruit flavours with entrenched nuances of dried herb and white pepper.

Fred Pizzini grew up in Italy and is bringing the taste of his homeland to the Australian dining table. His Sangiovese is one of the best examples in the country, with spicy, savoury fruit hiding a vein of mouth watering acid that is a hallmark of the variety. Delicious now - and will get better with bottle age!

This wine is a classic cool climate style, displaying dark fruits and pepper balanced by an intense and structured palate.
