The wine
Fantini's Sangiovese captures the bright, savoury character of Italy's most planted red grape, grown in the hills of Abruzzo. Fresh and unoaked, it is made for the table.
Red cherry, plum and a hint of herb and tomato leaf fill a lively, medium-bodied palate. Juicy fruit and gentle tannins close on a clean, savoury note.
Made for tomato-based pasta, pizza and roast chicken. Serve lightly chilled or at cool room temperature.
The producer
Fantini
View all Fantini winesFantini is the flagship range of Farnese Vini, one of southern Italy's great success stories, based in the coastal hills of Abruzzo. From humble beginnings the winery has become a byword for sun-filled southern Italian wines of remarkable value. Its reputation rests on native grapes, grown across Abruzzo, Puglia and beyond.
Abruzzo is a wild, mountainous region where vineyards run from the Apennines almost to the Adriatic. The warm days and cooling altitude give ripe yet balanced fruit. Fantini champions the local varieties that thrive here, Montepulciano and Trebbiano above all.
The range spans everyday Montepulciano and Trebbiano, the barrel-aged Colline Teramane, crisp Pecorino whites and the celebrated Edizione Cinque Autoctoni, a bold blend of five native grapes. There are sparkling cuvées too, from Abruzzo and Basilicata. Each shows generous fruit and southern warmth.
Fantini has won a devoted following for delivering flavour and character at every price. The wines are ripe, welcoming and endlessly drinkable. They capture the sunshine of southern Italy in a glass.
