Lino Ramble 'Marco Polo' Sangiovese 2022 | McLaren Vale, SA

A fruit forward and spiced Sangiovese, serving as McLaren Vale's answer to a Chianti.

Juicy and sweetly fruited, with dark plums and cherries, fragrant notes five-spice and savoury oak spices, a touch of dried herbs, dusty earth, and hints of leather. Smooth yet rustic on the palate, dry and medium bodied, with sinewy-earthy tannin, refreshing acidity, and a savoury finish.

Fermented in old oak with indigenous yeasts, macerated on skins for 16 days and hand plunged. Matured for 12 months in old oak. Minimal sulphur at bottling, no other additions.
