Rose Red City Sangiovese

Collector Wines Rose Red City Sangiovese is sourced from a range of vineyards grown across both granite and shaley soils near Murrumbateman in the Canberra District.

The blend is mostly Sangiovese, with small inclusions of traditional Chianti blending varieties Canaiolo Nero, Mammolo, Colorino and Malvasia Nera. The fruit is wild fermented in open vats and worked by hand to extract flavour and tannin.

Each component undergoes natural malolactic fermentation and matures in a mix of new and seasoned French oak barrels. After around 12 months the wine is blended and bottled.

Rusty red, Collector Wines Rose Red City Sangiovese is a rich wine with red fruit flavours and firm savoury tannins. Cellaring potential is seven years.
