Many Italian families settled in this part of Victoria, bringing their local grape varieties with them. This estate grows grapes including Nebbiolo and Arneis, but with this vibrant wine shows its spin on the Tuscan Sangiovese grape. It's sappy and fresh, bright with juicy sour cherry fruit – a good fusion of ripe New World and crunchy Tuscan character.
