Montevecchio Rosso

Field blend made up of Lagrein 28%, Nero d'Avola 25%, Sagrantino 20%, Sangiovese 11%, Nebbiolo 9%, Schioppettino 6% and Lambrusco Maestri 1%.  Most of these varieties were imported by us at Chalmers over the last 25 years and highlights the diversity and success of Italian Varieties here in Australia.  The origin of these grapes come from all over Italy, with Lagrein and Schioppettino from the north, to Piedirosso, Sagrantino and Aglianico from the south of Italy. It’s the sum its parts that make this wine the quintessential classic dry red wine with delicious personality. Juicy mulberry and plum fruits, red earth, vanilla bean, lifted herbs, brambly notes and graphite pencil shavings. The palate is medium bodied with plenty of generous berry fruits, soft dusty tannins, Cambrian rocky outcrops, and a lick of sweet liquorice to finish, the perfect table wine.
