The 2024 Il Traliccio Sangiovese is a bright, easy-drinking 100% Sangiovese from the rolling hills of Emilia-Romagna. Early harvested to preserve freshness, the fruit is fermented entirely in stainless steel, resulting in a light, vibrant style that highlights the variety's natural charm. The nose is lively and inviting, offering crunchy cherry, cranberry and raspberry layered with delicate floral notes and a touch of soft spice.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with juicy red berry fruit, soft tannins and refreshing acidity. Flavours of cherry and damson are complemented by subtle savoury notes, leading to a smooth, vibrant finish with excellent drinkability. Fresh, approachable and only 11% alcohol, it's a wonderfully versatile Italian red that's equally enjoyable served slightly chilled.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Il Traliccio Sangiovese pairs beautifully with wood-fired pizza, tomato-based pasta, charcuterie, grilled chicken or antipasti. Serve lightly chilled on warmer days and enjoy now through 2028 while its bright fruit and lively freshness are at their best.
