2023 Ravensworth Estate Sangiovese

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion

The savouriness and umami flavours make this wine and temper the green edge to the tannins. It's a bit charred radicchio-like, with red cherries and pips. It's tangy, a little tart, with plenty of refreshing acidity. Needs food desperately so start with pizza topped with spicy sausage.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2023 Sangiovese leads with aromas of tomato leaf and tapenade, grass clippings and watermelon. I am reminded wholeheartedly of Etna Rosso, a place hemispherically distant and yet stylistically close, which makes me quite fond of the wine. Flavors include rose petals and capsicum, wet wool and pistachios and some dried mint too. It's unusual. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
