Red cherries and freshly picked strawberries leap out of the glass with this refined and elegant Sangiovese. It’s tangy with a subtle edge of tannin, a versatile wine which can be enjoyed on its own or with roast poultry or lighter pasta dishes. It could be chilled to bring out its succulent fruitiness, especially in hot weather.

The Wickhams' Garden of Italy range comes from the Montaia vineyard in the Cesena foothills of Emilia-Romagna, just a few miles inland from the Adriatic. With a constant sea breeze, the microclimate is ideal for winegrowing.

Each bottle has a label created by Tonino Guerra.Tonino Guerra was a great appreciator of Montaia wines, and we’re proud to have some of his works on the labels of this selection.

Guerra’s reputation as poet, director, scriptwriter, painter, writer and thinker is intimately connected with the traditions of his native Romagna. Tonino Guerra’s Romagna is a Romagna where it’s quality, never quantity, that counts: where the frontiers between tradition, poetry and art are erased. These same values are embodied in Montaia wines.

Sangiovese

Sangiovese is an Italian wine grape variety whose name derives from the Latin sanguis Jovis, "blood of Jupiter". It is the predominate grape in Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.

It is a chameleon which reflects a sense of place. Sangiovese wines offer a wide range of tastes from very earthy and rustic to round and fruit-forward. Typical flavours include cherry and subtle notes of tomato.
