Natalie's Score: 92/100

From Fleurieu, South Australia, Zonte's Footstep Canto 2019 is a vegan-friendly and unique blend of 87% Sangiovese and 13% Lagrein wine grapes. Dry, medium-bodied with dark plum, cherry, chocolate and savoury herb flavours harmonious and juicy on the palate. Tannins are structured and mouth-coating and there is plenty of food-friendly acidity to accompany juicy ribs from the grill. Drink or hold.

Sangiovese Lagrein food pairings: tomato sauces, hamburgers, meaty lasagne, cheesy pizza.

Reviews and Ratings

Trent Mayers rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Sangiovese from Australia with an eclectic label? Yes, and, if you try this, you may look for more of this grape from Oz. Here it is blended with a little Lagrein, which is a little known grape originally from the Trento-Alto Adige region in Italy. Full bodied and richly seasoned with dried fruits like prune and raisin, but it still has cedary dark plum, red currant, and cranberry as well. Grilled Italian sausage with lentils or shredded beef pappardelle with generous amounts of parmesan would be well matched.
4 stars out of 5
