Overview:
The Serafino 2022 Bellissimo Sangiovese is a sophisticated expression of the classic Italian varietal, crafted from three distinct clones of Sangiovese grown in the premium terroir of McLaren Vale. The wine undergoes a meticulous process, with each parcel harvested and fermented separately to ensure optimal extraction of flavour and tannin. After malolactic fermentation, it is aged in a combination of older French oak and tank, enhancing its complexity and elegance. This Sangiovese showcases the harmony of the region's climate with the varietal’s natural character, offering a refined and structured wine perfect for food pairings.
