Villa Fresco Sangiovese 2024 from Pizzini Wines in Victoria’s King Valley slinks in with warm Italian‑style charm, juicy yet savoury, crafted for easy drinking at dinner or late‑night grazing around the table.

Ruby with a soft purple rim, it opens with bright cherry, spiced plum and a whiff of dried herbs, then slides into red berry, fresh raspberry and subtle earthy notes of tobacco and dark chocolate, all held together by fine but chewy tannins and a lick of oak‑driven spice. The finish carries maraschino‑like cherry warmth and a gentle grip that lingers pleasantly.

Serve Villa Fresco Sangiovese 2024 slightly cool with wood‑oven pizza, pasta with rich tomato sauce, braised lamb or any oven‑baked sausage tray – its bright acidity and savoury depth cut through food like a trattoria staple.
