Pizzini’s La Familia range is designed to be enjoyed with food, friends and family – this Sangiovese definitely hits the mark. Juicy cherries and blood orange aromas are joined by savoury dried oregano and basil, there’s a hint of ultra ripe tomatoes, fresh from the veggie patch and a blossomy lift that ties it all together. The gorgeous, silky texture gently carries moderate levels of fine pithy tannins that build on the back of the palate (as Sangiovese should). The texture and length speaks of a wine well above this price point. Pair it with… I want to say “life” – be it pizza, a grazing platter, pot-luck or just a chat with a friend; this crowd-pleasing Sangiovese promises to delight on all accounts.
Nicole loves wine. So much so that she gave up a successful career in Pharmacy, perfected her spitting technique, and moved from sunny Queensland to the wine-drenched laneways of Melbourne. Stints in hospitality, wineries, retail, sales and marketing filled the next few years while Nicole built her knowledge and searched for the right path. She completed the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Diploma in 2016 and became a certified WSET Educator the following year. She now juggles a number of roles including teaching people about wine, curating wines lists for restaurants and bars, judging in Australian wine shows and, of course, writing. In 2016 she won the Negociants Working With Wine writing award and has since contributed to Gourmet Traveller WINE, Halliday Wine Companion Magazine and Nourish Magazine.
