About Pizzini Forza Di Ferro Sangiovese 2023 750 ML
Pizzini's Forza Di Ferro Sangiovese from the King Valley opens with an inviting bouquet of fresh sour cherry, dried rose petals, and a hint of sun-dried tomato that speaks to the variety's Italian heritage transplanted into Australian terroir. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and medium-bodied with lively acidity that is the hallmark of great Sangiovese. Flavors of red cherry, pomegranate, and blood orange are framed by fine-grained, grippy tannins and a subtle earthiness reminiscent of forest floor and dried herbs. The Pizzini family's deep Italian roots shine through in this expressive, food-friendly wine that balances Old World character with the fruit-forward generosity of the King Valley.
