Pizzini Pietra Rossa Sangiovese 2017

Selected from our three best sites, our signature Pietra Rossa Sangiovese—named for the red soil in which it’s grown—displays a rich and complex balance of herbs, plums and spices. Enjoy today or cellar up to 15 years. A Sangiovese as rich and textural as this, deserves a feast to match. Consider Bistecca Florentina—Chianina Beef, grilled over redhot coals and brushed with olive oil, rosemary and sage.

Garnet in colour. The nose is complex and enticing with earthy and savoury characters including leather, dusty plum, sweet cherries, cloves and five spice. The palate is soft and well-rounded with earthy, savoury and cherry flavours. The wine has great length and persistence complimented by fine chalky tannins. Pair it with grilled rib-eye.
