Aquilani Sangiovese 2018

Description

Aquilani. Inspired by Italy. What could be more Italian than their passion for soccer? Taking inspiration from this passion, Aquilani is named after one of Italy’s leading soccer players. With a long and successful career he was adored at home and abroad. Something we hope will happen with Aquilani the wine too.

100% Sangiovese grown in the Tuscan appellation sub-regions of Siena, Florence, Pisa, Pistoia and Arezzo on calcareous, clay soils.  Another great growing season in 2018 produced high quality ripe fruit that underwent pre-fermentation maceration on skins to extract colour followed by fermentation in tank.

Sangiovese translates form Italian as the ‘blood of Jupiter’, the roman god of the heavens… it is  a variety that retains good levels of acidity to refresh and no doubt it is a heavenly drop!

This voilet fragrant delight is an excellent choice for any Pinot Noir lover. Light red, which is a hallmark of the Sangiovese grape, embodying and adapting to the unique Tuscan soil like a chameleon. The palate is harmonious and dry, with fine grape tannins and a savoury finish. Pair this gem with a hearty pasta dish and young fresh cheeses whilst enjoying this little piece of Italian paradise young or over the new 2-3 years.
