The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and velvety texture, while the finish is long and satisfying. This Sangiovese is a testament to the skill of Bella Modella, who have expertly captured the essence of Puglia in this outstanding vintage.

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit
Varietally expressive and elegantly lifted, the bouquet shows ripe cherry, thyme, cured meat and toasted almond notes on the nose. The palate delivers bright fruit flavours with elegant texture and fine, grainy tannins, making it attractively dry and persistent. 10GBP.

Sangiovese from Puglia! Vino biologico, which sounds nicer than ‘organic wine’.
Cherry, liquorice, almond and dried flower perfume. It’s medium-bodied, has some energy too, and presents as Sangiovese, albeit with a southern slant. Tannin offers some grip, and the finish is solid. There’s something of a ferrous quality about it too, which is altogether pleasing.
