Carpineto Spolverino
Carpineto Spolverino (Feather Duster) is an exciting Sangiovese blend from Chianti that pokes a little fun at the traditional Italian wine laws which prohibit a wine being labelled 'Chianti Classico' being bottled under screw-cap. As we love our wines to be fresh and vibrant in Australia, this brilliant (and affordable!) Chianti, closed with a Stelvin Lux, has enticing red cherry aromas blended with a touch of tobacco leaf and spice. Wonderfully medium-bodied, the palate is rich and generous, although supported by that typical Tuscan structure of zippy acid and soft, powdery tannin. Saluté!

Tenuta Santodeno Sangiovese
The winemaking for this complex wine from Romagna follows the traditional method with a long maceration on the skin, daily pump over and 2 delestages (racking). Part of the grapes are harvested late and the vinification takes place separately. The wine is then aged in big French oak casks. It's a complex and intense wine with a ruby red colour. Cherry and violet notes on the nose are enriched by plum, berries and licorice scents, thanks to the partial drying process at the vines. The palate is full, round, spicy and persistent with sweet tannins. Try this with typical regional recipes, such as handmade pasta with meat sauce, roasts, grills and aged cheeses.

It has a brilliant red color, the fragrance is characteristic, intense, delicate, with violet and raspberry scents. The wine is dry, velvety and harmonic in the mout
