The 2024 Fervor Nonno Lou Sangiovese is a vibrant and characterful expression of Italy’s most famous red variety, grown in Western Australia’s Great Southern region. Named in honour of family heritage, the wine reflects Fervor’s passion for Mediterranean varieties and minimal-intervention winemaking. The cool climate allows Sangiovese to retain its hallmark freshness and savoury character while developing excellent fruit purity and balance.
The nose reveals red cherry, wild strawberry and cranberry alongside notes of dried herbs, rose petal and subtle spice. The palate is bright and energetic, combining juicy red fruit with fine tannins and lively natural acidity. Hints of sour cherry, earthy spice and savoury herbs add complexity, while the finish is fresh, dry and beautifully balanced. The 2024 vintage showcases the variety’s natural elegance and food-friendly character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A deliciously vibrant Sangiovese that captures the charm and versatility of this classic Italian variety. Fresh, savoury and incredibly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with pizza, pasta, chargrilled meats, tomato-based dishes and aged cheeses. Enjoy now and over the next 5–7 years while its bright fruit, freshness and Mediterranean character are at their peak.
