Tash and The Thief Sangiovese 2023 from the Barossa Valley is a bright, savoury, medium‑bodied red that channels Italian bistro energy – all crunchy red fruit, spice and food‑friendly tannin rather than heavy oak or sweetness. Tash and The Thief 2023 Sangiovese typically shows sour cherry, red plum, dried herbs and a hint of blood orange.

On the palate it’s mid‑weight and refreshingly dry, with tangy cherry and redcurrant framed by Sangiovese’s signature chalky tannins and lively acidity. There’s a subtle line of savoury spice and earth in the background, giving it that classic, slightly rustic charm while still feeling polished and easy to drink, especially with food or even lightly chilled.

For food, Tash and The Thief Sangiovese 2023 is tailor‑made for pizza, tomato‑based pasta, lasagne, meatballs or grilled sausages, where its acidity and tannin cut straight through tomato, cheese and fat. It’s also excellent with antipasti, charcuterie, roast vegetables or a Tuscan‑style bean stew, offering enough savoury drive and brightness to handle herbs, olive oil and garlic while staying wonderfully gluggable.
