Tasting notes | Sangiovese

Colvin Wines was one of the first to plant Sangiovese grapes in Pokolbin, after John had travelled to Tuscany in the early and mid 90s. Sangiovese is an exciting lighter style red wine from grapes originally from Tuscany in Italy. The vines were originally planted in 1996 on the rich red clay soil of De Beyers Vineyard. It has a lighter tannin feel in the mouth and will continue to develop and smooth out with further bottle age. It is ideal with food, particularly Italian cooking and cheeses. Only the best vintages of Sangiovese are used for making the wine.

Vintages 1999 2000 2003 (to be released) Both the 1999 and 2000 vintages were excellent for Sangiovese and are drinking very well now.
