Cavedon Sangiovese 2024 from Cavedon Wines in the King Valley is a smooth, savoury, mid‑weight take on the grape – welcoming Sangio back in all her glory with a richer style than their earlier nouveau release, but still bright and very drinkable. It’s a proper cool‑climate Sangiovese built for everyday tables rather than hard work.

In the glass, Cavedon Sangiovese 2024 shows dark cherries and plums with a hint of spice and earth, plus that signature Sangio tang. The palate is smooth and savoury, medium‑bodied with juicy dark cherry and plum wrapped around gentle spice and fine tannins, giving a food‑friendly, mouth‑watering finish without feeling heavy or too rustic.

As an Adelaide sommelier’s view, this Cavedon Sangiovese 2024 is spot‑on for pizza, tomato‑based pasta, grilled sausages and char‑grilled veg, and it’ll happily sit alongside weeknight roasts or antipasto platters. It’s exactly the sort of modern Aussie Sangio you chill slightly and pour generously when you want red with character, acidity and versatility.
