2009 “Luccio” Sangiovese
Pikes 'Luccio' Sangiovese 2009
Sometimes all I want is a savoury red wine that's easy to drink, goes well with food and doesn't cost a fortune. This wine from a reliably good family producer ticks all three of those boxes. Made from 100% sangiovese from the Clare Valley, this is a deliciously slurpable medium-bodied red that would be perfect with a wide range of Mediterranean dishes, from pizzas and pastas to proscuitto. Juicy and approachable but dry and earthy, it is a wine for enjoying with friends rather than on eto be dissected and discussed. - Winsor Dobbin - Wine of the Week
