I Lauri Salto Sangiovese 75cl

Juicy, tangy, and proudly Italian, this Sangiovese is built for people who want a red wine with personality, not a sleepy glass of red. It’s bright enough to keep you coming back, with a savoury streak that makes it feel like it belongs at the table (even if your “table” is the couch).

What makes Sangiovese such a good go-to? It brings fresh red-fruit flavour plus mouth-watering acidity, so the wine stays lively from first sip to last. In plain English, it doesn’t flop. It lifts.

• Appearance: Ruby red with a bright, youthful look in the glass.
• Nose: Red cherry and raspberry up front, then dried herbs and a subtle earthy, savoury note.
• Taste: Tart cherry, cranberry, and a hint of spice, with dry, food-friendly acidity and lightly grippy tannins that give it shape.
• Body: Medium-bodied, lively and easy to keep sipping.
• Finish: Clean and slightly savoury, with lingering red fruit and a gentle herbal echo.

This is the kind of Italy red wine that’s great when you want layered flavours without the heavy, oaky weight. The bright fruit keeps it fun, the savoury notes keep it grown-up, and the structure means it plays nicely with anything from tomato-based dishes to grilled meats and aged cheese.

If you’re building your “house red” roster, this one earns a spot because it’s versatile. It can handle bold flavours, it won’t disappear next to food, and it still tastes great when you’re just in the mood for a glass of something red and lively.

Bottom line, it’s a confident Sangiovese that delivers that classic Italian balance, fruit, freshness, and a little rustic charm. Keep it on hand for nights when you want your red wine to feel like a smart choice without feeling like homework.

Fun Fact: Sangiovese is Italy’s most planted red grape, and its name is often linked to “sanguis Jovis” (the blood of Jupiter), which is exactly as dramatic as this grape can be.
