TWAM Live 10th May - Sangiovese

Sangiovese (from the Latin ‘Sanguis Jovis’ – blood of Jove – after the Roman God of Jupiter) is the famous grape of Tuscany. The haunting wines it is capable of creating are legendary. Like Pinot Noir, the grape reflects the terroir in which it grows, and the resulting wines run the gamut from the famously ethereal, high-toned, cherry-violet-spice styles to the intensely dark, tannic styles – and everything in between. From Italy, taste the Barbanera family's sumptuous 97pt ‘Super Tuscan’ combining Sangiovese with Merlot, and a lavish Chianti from a top vineyard bottled under a secret label. And from Australia, the lovely Claymore Blackbird Clare Valley Sangiovese, with its “bright acidity and fine satiny tannins” (Ken Gargett). Enjoy 2 of each in this terrific Sangiovese Collection.
