Tasting notes
The organic Chiara Condello 2022 Romagna Sangiovese Predappio is a laser-focused and beautifully sharp expression of one of Italy's noblest grapes. We are familiar with Sangiovese wines from Tuscany, but Emilia-Romagna offers worthy alternatives, such as this delightful bottle. The style is punchy and primary with candied cherry, pop rock and a distant hint of white pepper. The wine's medium- to full-bodied texture is layered with fresh acidity and chalky tannins. Production is 32,000 bottles for this great value entry-level wine.

Full bottle 1,239 g. It's crenellated, dusty and tastes of raspberries which have dropped onto weather-gouged old red bricks. Raspy, ragged, rugged and spilling with sweetness steeped in oregano leaves. Such pure Sangiovese soul. Pair with bare feet on a warm stone wall, lavender in a jam jar, breakaway thyme growing by the side of the road in a crack in the pavement, anchovies and sliced tomatoes on chunks of bread dipped in the pepperiest olive oil you can find.
