About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of SangiovesePairs well with BeefIndependent winerySangiovese is enigmatic to the point of being problematic. It will not be pushed in a direction that it doesn’t want to go. I got a whole lot better at working with it when I realised that what I want matters very little to this grape. These days I just try to help it along – if nothing else then this approach yields less grey hairs.
Bouquet:
On a cartoon window sill somewhere sits a fresh baked cherry pie – this wine is the tremendous scent that draws fictional characters to steal a bite. All crunchy cherry pie crust, with fruit all the way through the pulp to the pip.
Palate:
The fine texture gives length to an ever-present pulpy fruit. Drying, salivating, fruit filled melodrama that demands a pasta.
Food Match:
Pink lady apple skin, rose petal, and woody baked spices. An earthy sweet tobacco gives the ethereal grounding. The decidedly medium weight of the palate is fresh and full of fruit sweetness. Lush and lingering.

Light bodied red wines have a water-light mouthfeel and light flavour impact. Often pale to light/medium in colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
