Expert review
JAMES HALLIDAY REVEIW - 2023 Garden of Earthly Delights Sangiovese - 95 Points Destemmed, 22 days on skins, wild yeast ferment, maturation in large French foudre and seasoned Austrian oak. Seductive from the first taste, such is the mix of brio and earthy savouriness. Lives up to its name, an earthly delight sourced from the GKLR vineyard at Colbinabbin and flush in black cherry, plum, thyme, undergrowth, bitter chocolate with a splash of balsamic. Tannins are finely tuned, taut, and there's a brightness of acidity that lifts. - Jeni Port
Sangiovese
Sangiovese is a Tuscan red grape variety that has become the most planted and famous variety in Italy. You may know this variety by a few other names like Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Montefalco Rosso or Carmignano, but rest assured it's all the same grape, but it may grow in different regions. Sangiovese is made for food and shows with aromas and flavours of cherry, red berries, roasted tomato, balsamic, Italian herbs, coffee and cured meats, backed by cutting acidity and a good grip of tannins. The best examples come from Montalcino (Brunello di Montalcino) and can age decades!
