| Description: |
|
There is more to the great world of wine than the confinement of monosyllabilic varietal bottlings. Blending the right grapes together creates advantages analogous with the crafting of wonderful food in an exploratory kitchen. The excitement of the Hannibal blend is an indulgence, it's about the different grapes painting diverse taste colours. It's these taste colours which allow for Hannibal to be different and individually unique. Once again blended from predominantly Italian varieties, the wine presents the following composition: Sangiovese 43 %, Pinot noir 23 %, Nebbiolo 12 %, Syrah 11 %, Mouvedre 6 %, Barbera 5 %. These different varieties were all matured in small French oak barrels for 18 months. To soften and sculpt the tannins a white of egg fining was performed prior to bottling. The wine has a concentrated, dark fruit nose with an austere, gentle palate weight. The flavours are opulent with evident tannins. Long and harmonious (12 x 75 cl)
