UN PO 'Sopra la cima' Sangiovese 2024

Black cherry

Nonno approved

Expressive

Perfectly ripe Sangiovese Grosso, the very plump strain of
Sangiovese used to make Brunello, wild fermented in one big
stainless steel tank. Pressed to one very big and lovely 2500L
barrel and matured for 8 months. Just a touch of Petit Verdot
(made the same way, on a much smaller scale) blended in just
before bottling.

Built around a core principle of sustainability and respect for the land, Minimum Wines is the brainchild of Matt and Lentil Purbrick. Taking over the management of a Purbrick family vineyard in the Goulburn Valley in 2016, they have restored the site with regenerative and organic (certified in 2020) practices to produce three key wines: a chardonnay, sangiovese and syrah rosé, and a red blend that uses the same varieties with a dash of cabernet. As of 2020, the Short Runs range delves deeper into Matt Purbrick’s experimental side, with no fining or filtration, plenty of skin contact on whites and minimal sulphur.
