Gareth and Rainbo of Gentle Folk love Sangiovese above all other grape varieties. Its just magic up in The Adelaide Hills giving puckering acidity, dusty tannins and flavour for days. It's Adelaide Hills sure, but its a clear comparison to the old world. As good as lunch wine gets, and who doesn't love a wine at lunch!
