Two expressions of Sangiovese

One noble grape, two distinct characters. Both dry, both made to linger long after the last sip.

No. I · Sangiovese · 2023 · Dry red

Velvet Bliss

Bright red cherry, wild herbs and a velvet-soft finish.

Bursting with bright red cherry, wild herbs, and a hint of baking spice, all wrapped up in a surprisingly soft, velvety-smooth finish. Perfectly dry and incredibly drinkable.

No. II · Sangiovese · 2023 · Dry red

Vanilla Bliss

Toasted vanilla, dark cherry and a creamy, lingering finish.

A bold, unapologetic wave of rich, toasted vanilla envelopes the dark cherry core, creating a creamy, decadent mouthfeel that lingers long after the last sip. A dry red with a luxuriously sweet aroma.

About the Grape

Sangiovese, explained

Sangiovese is the signature red grape of central Italy, best known as the heart of Chianti. It is prized for bright acidity, red cherry fruit and savoury, herbal notes, which make it one of the most food-friendly reds in the world.

No. Both Velvet Bliss and Vanilla Bliss are dry reds. Vanilla Bliss carries a luxuriously sweet aroma from its toasted vanilla character, but the wine itself finishes dry.

Lay bottles on their side somewhere cool, dark and steady. Around 55°F is ideal; what matters most is keeping them away from heat, light and vibration.

If you love bright, fresh reds with savoury herbs, reach for Velvet Bliss. If you prefer something richer and creamier with a dessert-like aroma, Vanilla Bliss is your wine. Or open both and compare.
