Idiom Sangiovese 2007

A stylish wine with a tantalising nose and complex mouth feel. Rich red cherry and spicy aromas of tobacco and tar enhanced by savoury notes and flavours of redcurrant and sour cherries. The harmonious balance of aromas flavours and textures, make this a grand Sangiovese for the connoisseur.

Tomatoe based pasta’s and pizza’s or a delicious steak.
