Ravensworth - Estate Sangiovese - 2022

A live wire from 2022. Much more about vivacious personality than the more firm and savoury and stately expressions of past vintages – and nothing wrong with that! The cooler year felt here. That being said, tannin profile is stellar. A kind of crispness and crunch to this wine, more in line with pelaverga or vivid poulsard of Jura than sangiovese in a way, even with hallmark spice, red cherry fruitiness, herbal elements in tow. Fine strings of lacy tannin firm things up, the wine almost feels just a few pay grades up from rose but for its layers of fruit and spice. It’s delicious, refreshing, vibrant as an expression. It does a lighter shade of sangio so well. 94 Points Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
