Tasting Notes
Pizzini's Forza Di Ferro Sangiovese from the King Valley opens with an inviting bouquet of fresh sour cherry, dried rose petals, and a hint of sun-dried tomato that speaks to the variety's Italian heritage transplanted into Australian terroir. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and medium-bodied with lively acidity that is the hallmark of great Sangiovese. Flavors of red cherry, pomegranate, and blood orange are framed by fine-grained, grippy tannins and a subtle earthiness reminiscent of forest floor and dried herbs. The Pizzini family's deep Italian roots shine through in this expressive, food-friendly wine that balances Old World character with the fruit-forward generosity of the King Valley.
