Sangiovese comes in many guises in the hands of Italian winemakers and this is given the classic treatment with the added bonus of organic status. Dense, ruby red in colour, intense flavours of juicy black fruit and jam like qualities with undertones of spices, liquorice and violets. Harmonious and silky tannins give a well structured body with a luscious, fruit back palate leading to a long lingering finish.

A hidden gem amongst Giol’s range of superb Prosecco wines, this red lightly sparkling frizzante is bursting with red and black fruit flavours. Morello cherry and mulberry to the fore along with some background spice notes held together and balanced by soft tannins that do not get in the way of the fruit purity. Fantastic with the BBQ or antipasti when lightly chilled. A must try.
