Sangiovese

Sangiovese is the king of Italian wine (don't tell Nebbiolo!). There are many different expressions across Tuscany, from the light and easy to the age-able. Introducing this 2-pack showcasing the range of this profound varietal. 'Le Pianetta' is an everyday value red from the Pisa destined for a Bolonese lunch or roasted chicken dinner. To contrast, an aged Brunello from the hills south of Montalcino, made from the careful hands of Dr. Enzo Tiezzi. His 2016 Cerrino is nuanced, restrained and stunning after an hour in the decanter.

Box includes 2 gift wrapped wines, Bottivino note card and the 'Toscana' educational booklet.
