Sangiovese thrives in the cool climate of Victoria’s Heathcote as this honest example from Crittenden Estate’s Pinocchio range shows.
It’s medium garnet in appearance with a mix of cranberry, sour cherry, leather and earth on the nose. The palate is classically red fruit-driven, showing a hint of varietal tartness with fantastically fresh and racy acidity, soft, well integrated tannins and old oak providing savoury texture and balance.
