The 2024 Cantina Tollo Nativo Sangiovese Terre di Chieti is a vibrant and approachable Italian red crafted from Sangiovese, expressing the fresh fruit, lively acidity and authentic character of the Terre di Chieti region in Abruzzo. The nose is fragrant and inviting, revealing aromas of ripe cherry, wild raspberry and red plum, complemented by notes of violet, dried herbs and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with soft, supple tannins and bright natural acidity, delivering flavours of red cherry, cranberry and plum layered with hints of savoury herbs, liquorice and a touch of earthy complexity. The finish is smooth, fresh and beautifully balanced, making it an ideal everyday Italian red.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Sangiovese for customers seeking a fruit-forward, food-friendly Italian red with exceptional value. Best enjoyed now or over the next 3–5 years. Ideal with wood-fired pizza, tomato-based pasta dishes, grilled sausages, roast chicken, charcuterie or aged Pecorino cheese.
