2009 Primo Estate 'il briccone' Shiraz Sangiovese
From only $19.66 per bottle................. SAVE $64 per case.
Il Briccone means 'The Rogue' and with this blend of Aussie Shiraz and Italy's Sangiovese grape varietal, winemaker Joe Grilli aims to combine everything he loves about Australian wine in an Italian style blend.
The fruit was crushed directly into traditional open-topped fermenters then manually pumped over. The open-topped concrete fermenters are at the heart of the Primo Estate wine style. Joe Grilli, owner and winemaker says: 'The soul of a red wine is released where air meets the fermenting skins'. The wine then spent 14 months in older oak barrels to marry the blend.
A full bodied red with plum, pepper and spice characters. The Sangiovese gives a brust of refreshing cherry fruit and a savoury finish. Spicy and elegant.
