Poggio dei Principi Sangiovese 2023 from Emilia‑Romagna is a medium‑bodied, savoury Italian red that’s spot‑on for easy mid‑week drinking with pasta and pizza. This Poggio dei Principi Sangiovese 2023 shows classic sangio character – bright red fruit, spice and a gently rustic edge that keeps it feeling Italian to its core.

Aromas of spicy dark and red cherry come first, with touches of raspberry, dried herbs, earth and a little tobacco. The palate is mid‑weight and nicely savoury, offering dark cherry and red fruits wrapped in dusty earth, subtle tobacco and spice, with slightly chalky, fine tannins and a dry finish that invites another sip. It’s fresh, fruity and lively without being simple.

This is made for bowls of pasta with tomato‑based sauces, Bolognese, pizza, pork sausages and grilled meats, as well as antipasto plates stacked with cured meats and hard cheeses. It also works nicely with roast chicken and rustic Mediterranean vegetable dishes where its savoury edge really clicks.
