The 2019 La Longa Sangiovese is a testament to patience. We have explored a series of names that pay tribute to the 36-month process of aging the wine, inspired by the Italian terms used in music. Settling on ‘La Longa’, as its the Italian word for a long note: “A longa is a musical note that could be either twice of three times as long.”
The wine spends two-to-three times longer in oak than most other Australian-made red wines…36-months to be exact. The wine has great depth structure, and complexity, while retaining an elegant, medium-bodied palate with lingering fine-grained tannins. Brambly dark berries, sour cherry and plum with nuances of dried herb on the nose.
This may well be the best Sangiovese in Australia. The closest thing to a Brunello outside of Tuscany I reckon. Fabulous!
