TASTING NOTES
The Nugan family named this wine after their grandfather, founder and inspiration - Alfredo Nugan. Both the Sangiovese and Merlot are sourced from our Frasca’s Lane Vineyard in Victoria’s cool climate King Valley.
Deep crimson with a youthful purple hue. Ripe aromas of cherry and spicy plum melded with mocha, dark chocolate and earth. On the palate, this rich and savoury Tuscan-inspired wine shows excellent fruit concentration of spicy plum and raspberries over savoury earthy notes with excellent structure and lovely integrated tannins.
REVIEWS
A major surprise, the two varieties working symbiotically and synergistically in a spray of cherry and raspberry fruit aromas and flavours; fine tannins. Screwcap.14% alc. Rating 94 James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010
