Experience the fusion of Italian heritage and Stellenbosch terroir with the Idiom Sangiovese 750ml, a wine that defines elegance and structure. This modern red wine captivates the senses with a perfumed nose featuring vibrant red cherry, spicy clove, and delicate vanilla pod notes. Because the Bottega family harvests these grapes from the Helderberg, the wine maintains a bright acidity that earned it a prestigious 92 Points from Tim Atkin.
On the palate, this medium-bodied masterpiece reveals complex layers of tomato leaf, cinnamon, and savoury spices. Additionally, the silky mouthfeel and well-balanced tannins helped the wine secure 4 Stars in the Platter’s Wine Guide. The winemaking team matures the wine in French and American oak barrels for 14 months to enhance its depth. Consequently, the Idiom Sangiovese 750ml pairs exceptionally well with rich dishes like pork belly, Fiorentina steak, or traditional tomato-based pasta.
Critics frequently celebrate this label for its authentic varietal expression and its ability to bridge European finesse with South African vitality. Furthermore, the wine consistently achieves high scores, including 90 Points for multiple vintages and a Silver Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
