Sangiovese

Lush, crunchy, smashable – this 54% Sangiovese, 46% Syrah is bursting with ripe cherry, strawberry, red rose, and notes of leather, cupboard spice, and undergrowth. Generous texture, with a wild phenolic grip, gentle but bright acidity, and soft brick dust tannins.

Wild fermented, unfined, and low sulphur. It is also certified organic and certified vegan.

Embracing seasonal cooking, village life and traditions of the past, and charting their journey in two books, Grown & Gathered and The Village.
