In Italian, Il Briccone is known as 'the rogue' – a spirited, mischief-making rascal.

The wine is a mischievous blend of Shiraz and Sangiovese. Twenty-five years ago, when the winemaker first dreamt up the wine, they were told that the combination would "only ruin great Shiraz fruit."

The winemaker was a young Australian with Italian parents. To them, the idea of blending classic grapes with exciting new Italian varietals made sense.

Since then, Il Briccone has grown in reputation to become their winery's most popular red wine.

Today, they make it by crushing McLaren Vale fruit into open-topped concrete fermenters. The wine is aged in seasoned oak barrels for one year before release.

Il Briccone is a vibrant, full-bodied red brimming with plum, pepper, and spice. The Sangiovese adds a burst of cherry to the wine's savoury finish.
