The Little Wine Company Sangiovese 2019

Italy comes to the Hunter Valley with this rather delightful red made from the classic Tuscan variety. Dark magenta in colour with dried herbs, red fruits, redcurrants and tomato bush notes on the nose. Some animal skin notes, truffles and cherries also emerge. There is good, bright acidity running the journey and fine tannins finishing with decent length. Enjoyable now or any time over the next three to four years, longer in a good cellar. It is worth noting that a little drying grip on the finish makes this a cracking food wine across a range of dishes.
