Given the evocative name of 'La Bise', the warm southerly breeze that wanders across the vineyards of Burgundy a few weeks before harvest are said to give the vineyards the 'kiss of life'. Natasha Mooney has hand selected vineyards for the La Bise label which have been given the kiss of life. The case in point is this remarkable Sangiovese that is sourced from two northern vineyards in the Adelaide Hills and two different Sangiovese clones that blend big round berries with cherry driven fruit flavours and the smaller, more concentrated berries that give the wine an aniseed and blackcurrant accent. A wine with great texture and mouthfeel that has density while maintaining its lifted fruit aromas.

Murrumbateman is perfect area for this variety producing wine with cherry, nutty dominated flavours with a hint of spice and juniper too. The palate is medium weight with a great acid balance and fine tannins. Have with any kind of food that resembles Italian - a great food wine.

This outstanding red wine is a quite recent expression of Argiano's viticultural potential in relation to red wines made with Sangiovese. Solengo, which is Tuscan for one wild boar, is the product of the combination between Tuscan soil and French grape-varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Syrah. It is the fruit of the creation of the internationally acclaimed former oenologist Giacomo Tachis, which now continues with the work of Argiano's team.

Sensi Collezione Sangiovese Toscana IGT is a smooth and velvety red wine with a vanilla and tobacco-hinted finish. Enjoy this wine with red meat, game and aged cheese.

This beautiful Four Winds Sangiovese shows a deep purple-red colour. The aromatic bouquet exhibits vibrant scents of cherries, strawberries, cinnamon, plum and dried spices. These fragrances are reflected on the rich palate, where they are joined by cherry, raspberry and blackberry undertones. Savoury tannins drive the lush palate to a lingering finish. Made for consumption upon release, this delicious Sangiovese has the potential to be cellared for 5 to 7 years. Suggested food pairings include gnocchi with sage and butter sauce, roasted pork and three-cheese baked pasta.

De Bortoli Bella Riva Sangiovese flaunts a beautiful red colour when poured into a glass. The wine's bouquet is absolutely stunning with vibrant aromas of red berries, plums, bitter chocolate and earth. The palate is rich and lush with delightful flavours of red fruits, enhanced by excellent texture and a remarkable length. Enjoy this fascinating wine from King Valley with baked pasta, grilled red meats, or Italian spaghetti sauce with meatballs.

Dry, pleasant and vinous. Fresh bouquet with flowers notes. Ideal with roasted meats, red grilled meats and hard cheeses.

Winemaker Justin Bubb splits his year between Tasmania (Pooley Wines) and Tuscany, where he makes a delicious collection of wines under the Babo label. There are a couple of firsts here; this is the first Chianti to be bottled under screwcap and it's one of the first to be bottled in a Burgundy bottle as opposed to the traditional Claret shape (for the Fiasco wicker bottle!) For this Chianti-Beaujolais hybrid, Justin has employed whole berry fermentation with roughly 30% carbonic maceration, simply fermented and then raised in concrete vats for six months. It's a wonderfully bright and aromatic Sangiovese with notes of raspberry and red cherry, good texture and lightweight tannins, with sappy acidity and a thirst quenching finish.
