2024 La Prova Sangiovese

A juicy red fruited Sangiovese with chalky tannins and fresh acidity.

Dark red in colour with black toned edges and a red hue. Lifted red currant and red liquorice aromas intermingle with earth, subtle spicy tobacco and dried herb notes. Juicy red to dark cherry and red currant fruits line the mid weighted palate with notions of red liquorice, spicy tobacco, earth and dried herbs forming the underbelly. Chalky tannins and fresh acidity with a subtle rustic feel across the spicy finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Other Reviews……
This screams sangiovese, from its red-berried and woody spice perfume through to its sizzle of blood orange, medium-weight, and cherry, cola, cranberry and rosehip tea flavours. A good sense of cinnamon, clove spice and white pepper, too. A touch of dried Italian herbs. Tannins are quality, the wine compact and chewy in the best sense, and it finishes exceptionally long with sweet fruit and more spice. A touch of minerality and black tea in the mix, too. Jeez, this is good. Drink by 2032.
