Details
Sangiovese blends with a slither of Syrah and local variety Colorino here. Classic Rosso di Montepulciano, with elegance and red berry character from top to bottom. This is an approachable, easy-drinking Sangiovese blend.
The Avignonesi Winery takes its name from the legendary, eponymous township in Tuscany that is home to both incredible Sangiovese - Italy's premier red grape - and the nation's first DOCG, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Owner Virginie Saverys oversees operations here with her partner Max De Zarobe. The pair meticulously and tirelessly run the estate, focusing on wines crafted from 100% estate-grown fruit, made under biodynamic practice. The estate covers around 160 hectares of land and the team has taken great care to plant cover crops between their rows of vines in order to promote as much biodiversity throughout the land as possible. With an eye on the future, Avignonesi is keen to bring through the next generation of winemakers and boasts a young, international crew as well as using the most modern, up-to-date technology in the winery to ensure the utmost quality of their wine. These are fantastic wines and undoubtedly Tuscan in style.

Pairing guide
The Avignonesi Rosso di Montepulciano 2021 is a smooth, fruit-forward red with bright cherry, plum, and a hint of spice, making it a perfect match for classic Italian dishes like tomato-based pastas, wood-fired pizza, or a hearty eggplant parmigiana. Its balanced acidity and soft tannins also complement grilled meats, from rosemary-infused lamb chops to a simple charcuterie spread. For a cozy yet unexpected pairing, try it with mature cheeses or a rich mushroom risotto, where its depth and elegance truly shine.
