2019 Spinoff Sangiovese Barbera
$45.00
$270.00
Sangiovese and Barbera have a charming history at Langi. When the Fratin brothers planted vines in 1969, they were captivated by the sentimental notion that it reminded them of home in Italy. Unable to find any Italian wine varieties they instead planted the local Shiraz vine. It was not until Trevor Mast decided to collect and plant Sangiovese in 1992 that Italian varieties finally found their place at Langi.
A wine made to be enjoyed with food – black cherries, chocolate and spice aromas carry through to the palate. with tobacco and liquorice notes combining to a smoked, earthy finish.
