A tribute to his Italian heritage and the Great Grandfather Joseph Cilento memory Geoff makes one of the outstanding examples of 100% McLaren Vale Sangiovese wines.
The colour is a rich dark red with blood red hues. The aroma is a savoury blend of black cherry, herbs and spice, meaty notes and a hint of caper. The palate is strong and muscular with fleshy ripe fruits, grippy sinuous tannins, and a well proportioned mid palate finishing with balanced acidity and length.
“Drink with rich red meat dishes such as lamb shanks, hearty beef stew, pasta with tomato based sauces, pizza with tomato and salami and thick Italian sausages. Great to drink now paired with the right foods but will certainly reward 5 - 8 years of patience.”
“Superbly fruited and expressive, the bouquet shows blackcurrant, spiced cherry, olive and mixed spice aromas with subtle notes of vanilla and hazelnut. The palate is succulent and plush, delivering gorgeous fruit richness together with silky mouthfeel, finishing beautifully long and attractive. 5 stars.”
