TASTING NOTES
The colour is vibrant cherry garnet; the wine has a concentrated bouquet of spice, liquorice with earthy undertones that have purity with the strength to seduce. The palate is both soft and sweet, which, unrestrained, has a warm and delicate entry. Lingering hints of plum and cherry combined with fine chalky tannins complete this wine.
OTHER NOTES
"The best Aussie version of this style, which offers all the flavours and characters of the real thing" - Stuart Gregor
"This is yummo drinking; medium weight and dead easy to keep lifting onto your tongue. I'm going to buy a case and drink six over the next six months, the other six kept for three or four year's time. It's just, really, a great wine to drink - lengthy, fruity, sour - I suspect that it's the Pizzini's best sangio yet." - 91 Points, Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front 2007
"..this is one of their best wines. It is complex, savoury and well structured, with firm tannins. Serve with Italian sausage and lentils." - Sally Gudgeon
"Pizzini’s vineyard has plantings of vines on both the gentle undulating slopes of the King Valley hills as well as the second terrace flats leading to the King River. "Pizzini's Sangiovese is an Australian benchmark.." - Ralph Kyte Powell
"A rustic, meaty Sangiovese whose sweet, slightly confectionary flavours of red cherries and plums are backed by dusty, herbal nuances or underbrush and tomato stalk. It's moderately long, with a slightly raw and drying backbone of cherry kernel tannins and green-edged acidity but should build weight in the bottle. - Jeremy Oliver
