Fighting Gully Road 'Beechworth' Sangiovese 2023 | Beechworth, VIC

An unassumingly great Sangiovese that tastes like a slice of Tuscany right here in Aus. Does what it says on the tin and to great affect. We love it.

A bright and juicy red wine with aromas of red berries, cherries, and a touch of spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with fresh flavors of dark cherries, strawberries, plums, savoury dried herbs, and a hint of vanilla. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, and the acidity is lively and balanced.

This Sangiovese is an excellent food wine and pairs well with a range of Italian cuisine, such as pasta dishes, grilled meats, or pizza. It's an enjoyable wine to drink now but can also age well for a few years.

NERD NOTES

Combination of Sangiovese (95%) - from Chianti Clones - and Colorino (5%), with the two varieties being harvested, fermented, and aged separately.

Grapes were hand picked, crushed, and destemmed. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel vats using indigenous yeasts, with a further 14 day maceration on skins.

Aged for 12 months in seasoned French oak casks (1500 - 2000L) and blended together before bottling.
