Farnese Sangiovese, Italy
A wine of Fantini Estate, Italian winery of the year 2005, 2006 and 2007 (IWSC)
A well-loved favourite made from Sangiovese, the noble grape of Chianti, by a Barolo trained winemaker on the 'not so pricey' Adriatic coast.
Winemaker, Filippo, clinched a top trophy in Tuscany in 2003, knocking several much more expensive contenders off the podium and his 2004 followed suit with a 'Gran Menzione' at Vin Italy; Italy's most prestigious showcase.
This wee Italian number is utterly dripping in dark cherries with notes of strawberry and earth in support. Rich and juicy in texture it has a nice grip in the tannin and a sexy underlying Italianness
Deliciously soft, cherry-scented Sangiovese from the great Farnese Estate. Full of enticing cherry, plum and violet aromas and a silky mouthful with layers of lip-staining bramble and cherry fruit.
