Discover Our Simply Sangiovese Tasting Experience

At James & Co. Wines, we’re thrilled to introduce our new “Simply Sangiovese” wine tasting experience! Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just someone who enjoys a good glass with great company, this is an experience that’s all about making wine approachable, fun, and downright enjoyable.

Let’s get one thing straight—we’re not wine snobs. We believe that wine should be savoured, not overanalysed. Our Simply Sangiovese tasting is designed for anyone who loves wine, especially those who’ve found themselves captivated by the flavours of Tuscany. If you’ve ever sipped a Chianti and thought, “I could get used to this,” then you’ll feel right at home here. After all, Chianti’s secret weapon is none other than the Sangiovese grape!

**What Makes Sangiovese Special?**

Sangiovese is one of those versatile grape varieties that can do it all. From light and bright to deep and complex, Sangiovese wines offer a spectrum of flavours that make them perfect for pairing with food—or enjoying on their own. At James & Co., we’ve taken this beloved grape and crafted four unique styles that each bring something different to the table. You’ll have the chance to explore each one, discovering how different winemaking techniques and regional influences can create a whole range of experiences from a single grape and for a bit of fun we will throw in a Tuscan Wildcard for you to try.

**A Relaxed, Self-Guided Tasting**

We want you to enjoy your tasting at your own pace, so our Simply Sangiovese experience is self-guided. Whether you prefer to dive in with a bit of guidance from our friendly winemaker or take it on solo, the choice is yours. We’re here to give you as much or as little help as you need. It’s all about making sure you have a great time, learn something new, and—most importantly—find a wine that you love.

**Pairing Wine with Good Food and Good Times**

At James & Co., we’re all about wines that are made to be enjoyed with food and friends. Sangiovese is the perfect example of this, with its bright acidity and lively character that make it an ideal partner for a wide range of dishes. Whether you’re planning a cozy dinner at home or a lively gathering with friends, our approachable wines are ready to elevate the occasion.

So, why not make a day of it? Come visit us at our cellar door in Rutherglen, and experience Simply Sangiovese for yourself. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, we’d love to share our passion for this incredible grape with you. Book your tasting today, and let’s raise a glass to wine without the wankery!
