Loads of fruit, deliciousness, and aromatic intrigue balanced by structure and unravelling layers of savoury complexity. Serve it with richer dishes, especially with sweet/sour cha racters: Tuscan chicken and grape agrodolce; roasted pork belly with hoi sin. 👁 Bright purple with ruby inflection👃 Blackberry, raspberry, plum, anise, tobacco leaf and woody spice👄 Medium weight, juicy, smashable palate, just the right amount of sour cherry acidity, finishing with a refreshingly fine tannin profile In life to be in the middle is sometimes seen as a bad thing but for us it means you are the best of everything, like a well-rounded student or athlete. Made from Sangiovese in two parts - one whole-berry dominated ferment with lots of fruit to the fore, one destemmed and crushed to bring out the structure. To round out the blend, Malbec brings characteristic blackberry, tobacco and sophisticated tannins. Show more
