Baarmutha Wines Sangiovese 2024 by Vinny Webb out of Beechworth’s granitic hills is exactly the sort of bright, savoury Italian‑inspired red Aussies are falling in love with – crunchy, medium‑bodied and built for the table. This Baarmutha Sangiovese 2024 channels the same house style of lifted cherry, blood orange and red plum, laced with earthy, herbal spice and a refreshing line of acidity.

On the palate, expect a juicy, vibrant core of sour cherry and red berries, hints of bitter herbs and subtle leafy spice, wrapped in fine, powdery tannins. It should sit in that lovely medium‑weight zone – energetic rather than heavy – with a dry, savoury finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. Serve it with a light chill to really pop the aromatics.

This is a food wine first and foremost – think wood‑fired pizza, rich tomato pasta, Tuscan‑style sausages, grilled lamb chops or slow‑braised beef ragù. It will also sing alongside antipasti, hard Italian cheeses and charcuterie, making Baarmutha Wines Beechworth Sangiovese 2024 a cracking option for relaxed dinners with mates or Sunday long lunches.
