Idiom Sangiovese 2008

Name: Idiom Sangiovese 2008
Brand: Idiom
SKU: 32247

A rich, powerful expression of Stellenbosch Sangiovese. A wine with a tantalizing nose and complex mouthfeel. Spicy aromas of blackcurrant, tobacco and cedar wood are enhanced by sweet and sour notes of redcurrants and dark cherry on the palate. A wonderful balance of aromas and textures.

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