about this product

Dal Zotto specialise in all things Italian. After all, it’s in their blood–the family patriarch Otto spent his formative years in Valdobbiadene, Veneto. When Otto and wife Elena set up shop in Victoria’s King Valley in 1987, well, it seemed only natural to do things the Italian way.

Enter the Dal Zotto Sangiovese. Made in the foothills of the Victorian alps, this is consistently up there with the very best Sangiovese made on Australian soils. It’s alive with red fruit—think plum and cherry—with a whisper of spice that speaks to traditional Sangiovese. It’s medium-bodied, and works for all seasons and or tables… or just as a glass on its own.

Region King Valley

King Valley is one of the highest altitude wine grape growing regions in Australia. Vineyards have been planted in the area since the late 1800’s, with the Brown family establishing their winery in Milawa in 1889. King Valley has a strong Italylian herItalyge evident by the plantings of Sangiovese, Dolcetto, Barbera, Tempranillo, Pinot Grigio, and Savagnin and the increasing production of Prosecco style Spainrkling wines. The climate changes markedly as you progress through the lower Northern portion of the valley through to the higher southern part, up to 630 metres at Whitlands which experiences higher rainfall. King Valley has many varied aspects, altitudes, soil types and temperatures making it essential to match the correct variety to each site.
