The Nugan family named this wine after their grandfather, founder and inspiration - Alfredo Nugan. When a young Alfredo emigrated from Spain in 1940, he had a clear vision of his familys new life in Australia. Today, his legacy sees the Nugan family established as one of Australias most successful agricultural enterprises. This wine is a tribute to his vision and the passion he instilled in us, his family, to pursue his ideals of outstanding quality and service. Both the Sangiovese and Merlot are sourced from our Frascas Lane Vineyard in Victorias cool climate King Valley.

The Montesodi vineyard is located 400 metres above sea level, planted in schist soils with a magnificent southwestern exposure. The 2019 Montesodi is a vibrant ruby-red colour. It is tantalising on the nose, characterised by fruity notes of redcurrant and wild strawberry. These aromas are followed by floral notes, fresh balsamic scents, and an elegant spiciness of liquorice and cloves. It displays fresh yet dense and chalky tannins, typical of Sangiovese, balancing complexity with elegance and length.

Using the mainstay Italian variety Sangiovese, Fred Pizzini has crafted a dry style of rose with tropical fruits and floral undertones. Perfect with al fresco dining!

Complex aromas and elegant with notes of violets and wild berries. Warm and well balanced on the mouth, excellent body with super fine tannins.

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!
