Our search for a great value Sangiovese naturally took us straight to central Italy, but less predictable was unearthing a stunning small parcel of Merlot Ripasso that we couldn't turn down. After a few hours at the blending table, we discovered it was the perfect partner to the crisp and bright Sangiovese on show, too. Only 10% in the blend of this rich Merlot was enough to give the Sangiovese more depth and structure and, most importantly, really enticing fruit sweetness and a lovely, rounded mouthfeel. It remains true to typical Sangiovese varietal character, but with an even more moreish nature.

Ivano's approach to winemaking works in perfect synergy with us. Focusing on vinifying by grape variety, and to extract the purest varietal expression, this gives us a huge palette of wines to play with when it comes to building our own wines. The winery's network of small local growers is vast and so, in any given vintage, there are many small-batch wines available to us, all hand-crafted and benefitting from the immense winemaking expertise of Ivano.
"This was a clever blend, using the richness of the ripasso Merlot to give more power to the Sangiovese, but without removing any of its natural character." - Ivano Emiliani, Winemaker.
