La Prova Sangiovese 2024
2024 Sangiovese, Adelaide Hills
Bright, fragrant, savoury.
The most versatile and food friendly grape of all the Italian varieties and the one whose deliciousness inspired our La Prova journey!
Climate | Cooler due to elevation.
Season | The 2024 growing season will be long remembered for its great quality, fashioned by lighter yields and a warm, dry ripening period.
Source | Two ideal vineyards for Sangiovese, The Blows Vineyard at Macclesfield and Shining Rock Vineyard at Nairne.
Winemaking | Once harvested the grapes are destemmed into open fermenters and left on skins for long enough - generally just over one month - that the tannins soften from angular to silky, and also enhance the savoury nature of this variety that we love so much. Matured in old, large French oak for about nine months. Unfined, unfiltered. Vegan friendly.
Style | Sangiovese is quite a journey. The difference in clones and responses to soil type, rainfall and climate, is as extraordinary as is its uncanny ability to show varietal character wherever it is grown. Our style aims to best express the delicious medium bodied, savoury styles.
