Winemaker Justin Bubb splits his year between Tasmania (Pooley Wines) and Tuscany, where he makes a delicious collection of wines under the Babo label. There are a couple of firsts here; this is the first Chianti to be bottled under screwcap and it's one of the first to be bottled in a Burgundy bottle as opposed to the traditional Claret shape (for the Fiasco wicker bottle!) For this Chianti-Beaujolais hybrid, Justin has employed whole berry fermentation with roughly 30% carbonic maceration, simply fermented and then raised in concrete vats for six months. It's a wonderfully bright and aromatic Sangiovese with notes of raspberry and red cherry, good texture and lightweight tannins, with sappy acidity and a thirst quenching finish.

Fragrant and enchanting, this wine has aromas of cherries and wild raspberries with complexing hints of savoury earth and spice. Earthy and savoury on the balance with fleshy berry fruit and plum, balanced with velvety tannins that provide subtle support. Eat with charred meat, charcuterie or tomato based pasta dishes.

Don’t miss this rare chance to secure a magnificent wine from a top producer that’s in seriously short supply. Made by an acclaimed winemaker at the top of their game, this is a slice of wine history you don’t want to miss. Add it to your collection while you can.

The Pawn Sangiovese 2022 from Adelaide Hills is a true expression of the region's terroir and the craftsmanship of The Pawn Wine Co. With a deep, ruby red hue, this wine is visually enticing and offers a preview of its rich aromas. On the nose, notes of ripe cherries, blackberries, and plums are complemented by hints of tobacco and spice. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with a perfect balance of acidity and tannins. Flavors of dark fruits, specifically black cherries and plums, are accented by subtle oak and a touch of earthiness. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering sensation of dark fruit and spice. Overall, The Pawn Sangiovese 2022 is a superb wine that showcases the Adelaide Hills' cool climate and The Pawn Wine Co's dedication to quality winemaking.
