Zonte's Footstep 2008 Canto di Lago



General: Enjoyed over the weekend

Varieties: Sangiovese 80%, Barbera 20%

Region/G.I.: Fleurieu, Langhorne Creek

Alcohol: 14.0%

Bouquet: Sweet plum and brambly aromas. Some earth as well.

Flavour: Like other Australian Sangiovese blends, this had to sit for more than an hour to calm down and open up. Nice complexity with an underlying meaty flavour. Very pleasant tannin with only some of the fruit found in the nose present in the mouth. A bit light in the mid-palate.

Points: 84

Notes: At $13.32 (~240 Kc) this is a good change to the usual and a very enjoyable drink
