The 2024 Linear Sangiovese is a vibrant Australian red showing sour cherry, red plum and raspberry alongside violet, dried herbs, subtle earthy spice and gentle savoury notes. Its bright fruit profile is balanced by lively acidity, while fine mineral and herbal nuances add depth and complexity. The wine has an approachable, food-friendly character that reflects Sangiovese’s naturally fresh and savoury style.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely structured, with bright acidity, fine-grained tannins and layers of red fruit, cherry and delicate plum. Sour cherry and raspberry are complemented by dried herbs, subtle spice and gentle earthy notes, while a fine mineral character provides tension and length. The tannins give the wine shape without overpowering the fresh fruit, creating a balanced and energetic palate. The finish is dry, savoury and persistent, with lingering red fruit, herbs and subtle spice.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Sangiovese drinkers who enjoy fresh Australian reds with bright acidity, fine tannins and savoury complexity. It is approachable now but has enough structure to develop additional earthy and herbal character with short-term cellaring. Best enjoyed over the next 4–6 years. Pair with wild mushroom pappardelle, pork and fennel ragu, roast chicken with rosemary, grilled lamb cutlets, or eggplant parmigiana with fresh basil.
