Sangiovese is enigmatic to the point of being problematic. It will not be pushed in a direction that it doesn’t want to go. We got a whole lot better at working with it when we realised that what we want matters very little to this grape. Sangiovese is unlike any other wine we make and while it has taken time to find a way to make it really express itself, I think now our Mongrel is living its best life. Rosehip, rosewood and cherry wood. Lush and lingering.
