Grape

Sangiovese, Montepulciano

Origin
An 80%-Sangiovese blend made from grapes grown on the estate of Count Saladini Pilastri in the hills of the Marche reagion, overlooking the Adriatic. The estate was certified as entirely organic in 1994, and was the first in Italy to achieve this status.
Taste
A deep ruby core with a purple rim. A ripe and youthful nose of cherries and sloes, with hints of tobacco leaf and spice. Harmoniously structured, with a firm texture and enduring tannins.
Enjoy
A great all-round food wine, to drink now or keep for 2-3 years. Try with a selection of traditional antipasti.

    Excellent value organic wine

    This is my new house wine - it gets 5 stars for value for money. It's a lovely Italian organic wine, easy to drink but with plenty of interesting things going on too. I love it.

    A bit disappointed

    I'm normally a great fan of Italian wines and was interested in tasting a non-Tuscan sangiovese. However, the promised cherries, sloes, tobacco leaf and space escaped me: I thought it was more curranty and red berry fruit, a bit too sharp. Not a disaster but didn't touch my soul.

Staff Reviews

  • Everyday delight

    "Brimming with fruit and typical Italian acidity making it a perfect match to a midweek lasagne. Great value for money."

Press Reviews

  • Youthful and useful (2010 Vintage)

    "Youthful and useful Sangiovese-based organic red from the underrated Marche region. Striking dark ruby colour with baked, spiced cherry compote and wild herbs on the nose and a palate that leads you in gently then finishes with Sangiovese's characteristic, food-friendly astringency. Rating: 86/100 (The Wine Gang, www.thewinegang.com, July 2012)"
