Expert review

JAMES HALLIDAY REVEIW - 2022 Garden of Earthly Delights Sangiovese - 95 Points Grown on the Kennedy Vineyard at Colbinabbin, in the north of the Heathcote region. This is a cracking sangiovese with ample body and the structure to match. One sip and you find yourself exclaiming, 'Go, you good thing.' Red cherries, currants, leather and chocolate come lifted with mint and sweet spice. It all works beautifully. - Campbell Mattinson

The Grape

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!
