Pizzini Sangiovese Shiraz 2019

Bright ruby in colour, this staple easy drinking red tastes as pretty as it looks. A melody of berries, strawberries and subtle chocolate leap from the glass. The sangiovese component provides subtle plums and earth undertones. The shiraz emerges later with blackberry and dark chocolate plus soft, lengthy tannins, subtle spice and lush acidity. Drink now with an antipasti plate in the sun.

Some batches of Sangiovese were fermented at 30°C to extract flavour, tannin and texture while the remainder was fermented at a lower 23°C to help retain freshness and lifted fruit characters. The Shiraz was fermented separately at 25°C to extract more delicate aromatics and fruit flavour. Following fermentation both varieties were placed in stainless steel to mature and impart freshness to the wine. The resulting wine is our “vino di tavola” Chianti style made for drinking now and every day.
