Chrismont La Zona Sangiovese

Chrismont La Zona Sangiovese 2024 from Victoria’s King Valley is a dark, crimson‑fringed red that channels Chianti vibes in an Aussie context – savoury, medium‑full and all about cherry‑driven fruit wrapped in fine tannins. It feels like a proper food wine rather than a simple quaffer.

Expect black and dark cherries, blackberry and mulberry on the nose with background notes of chocolate, toffee and spicy oak. The palate is full and distinctive, carrying dark berry and cherry fruit with cinnamon, nutmeg and savoury spice, supported by moderate acidity and those characteristic fine Sangiovese tannins that give shape and grip through a long, satisfying finish.

It’s tailor‑made for slow‑cooked pork belly, cotechino sausage, tomato‑based pasta, pizza and rich Tuscan‑style dishes, where its structure and savoury complexity can really shine. Chrismont La Zona Sangiovese 2024 continues the label’s reputation for serious yet approachable Italian varietals from King Valley – a smart pick for Sangiovese lovers wanting authenticity with a local accent.
