The distinguishing character of Sangiovese is that of savouriness followed by bitter (morello) cherries - traits which are more than abundant in our Pinocchio version.
A very fortunate mistake! That's how I now describe the confusion that led to many Australian vignerons (including ourselves) inadvertently planting Savagnin in the belief we were planting the Spanish (Galican) variety of Albarino. Years of subsequent perspiration, education and frustration have resulted in the release of our third Sous Voile Savagnin. A Cri de Coeur (Cry of the Heart) if ever there was one! Rollo Crittenden
Spicy herbal nose attributable to whole bunch fermenting. Beautifully fine and textured tannins on the palate. An exceptional wine - the premium of the premiums
Skins fermentation with traditional Italian white grapes (three textural varieties) and made like a red wine. Distinctive, sophisticated and a great food wine.
