MDI Sangiovese is an unpretentious and vibrant take on the classic Italian grape, built for warmth, sunshine and honest drinking. It channels the simplicity and charm of a weeknight red, but with enough nuance to keep you coming back. Coming from the hot, sun-drenched vineyards around Mildura, this Sangiovese shows off bright fruit ripeness without tipping into heaviness. The moderate oak and minimal-intervention winemaking keep the wine grounded; it doesn’t try to be a heavy, extracted “big red,” but rather a wine of balance, drinkability, and straightforward character. Every vintage seems to lean into that accessible but sincere ethos.

Why you'll love me

If you like a red that doesn’t overstay its welcome, one that’s flexible, food-friendly, and low-fuss, MDI Sangiovese delivers. It’s perfect for casual meals, shared lunches, or easy weekends. Its red fruit, soft savoury notes and fine tannins make it approachable now, but it’s also textured enough to handle dishes with herbs, tomato or moderate spice.

Tell me more

Location: Mildura / Murray-Darling region, Victoria, Australia 
Winemaking / Farming techniques: Sustainably farmed grapes, wild-yeast fermentation. The wine sees some time in oak (used or neutral/neutral-plus wood) to add subtle structure and texture; minimal intervention, unfined / unfiltered in many bottlings. 
Style / Body: Light-to-medium bodied, fresh but with enough weight for red-sauce, rustic, “everyday red” drinking. 
Notes: Red cherry, red currant, and sometimes darker red fruits. On the savoury side: dried herb, earth, a little tobacco or dried leaf note. There can be a gentle hint of oak-induced spice or vanillin on some vintages, and fine dusty tannins with a bright acid backbone. 
Descriptors: Cherry · Red currant · Dried herb · Earthy · Tobacco/leafy spice · Dusty tannins · Bright acidity · Rustic charm
Pairing Suggestions: Tomato-based pasta dishes, pizza, charcuterie, rustic lamb ragù, grilled sausages, herb-roasted pork, or any simple Italian-style fare. Great with mid-strength cheeses or rustic vegetable dishes too.
