One of the most exciting wine stories coming out of Australia right now is South Australia’s embrace of Italian varieties. There’s over 28 different producers of Nero d'Avola in the Barossa at this moment. In addition to Sangiovese, Aglianico, Fiano, among others. The Studium series by the guys at Sons of Eden is an opportunity for them to lend their exceptional skills to try and experiment with new varieties, like their "Studium" Montepulciano Eden Valley. The typical hallmarks of their styles are all here: boldness, concentration and generous fruit, and along with elements of charcuterie, plum preserves adorning a vertical structure with acidity that hits at all the right moments. A great example of the unique and exciting Italian variety wines coming out of the Barossa.
