Description

Sam Scott's affinity with Italian varieties began with his first encounter with Sangiovese. It's a variety which many winemakers struggle their whole careers with... but not for Sam, he's absolutely nailed it.

The trick with Sangiovese is to maintain drinkability, harnessing the power and tannin inherent in the variety but making approachable, accessible versions that suit our Australian palates.

This is one of the most charming versions of this variety to be found anywhere in the country, ideal for enthusiasts and newcomers to the variety, alike.

    Great producer

    Had this ( along with some other La Prova wines ) and the group of friends were impressed by this and their other offerings. Decent Italian grape drops made in Australia. La Prova, a maker to follow.

    Cheers

    Too easy

    Easy drinking and well worth the price of entry.

Once harvested the grapes are de-stemmed into an open fermenter and left on skins for long enough, generally just over one month, that the tannins soften from angular to silky, and also enhance the savoury nature of this variety that we love so much. Wild ferment, unfined and unfiltered. Vegan friendly.

Sangiovese is quite a journey! The difference in clones, responses to soil types, rainfall and climate is as extra-ordinary as is the uncanny ability for the variety to show varietal character wherever it is grown too. Small parcels of fruit were selected from four exceptional warmer Adelaide Hills vineyards, the Blows Vineyard in Macclesfield, and the Shining Rock Vineyard in Mt Barker, Amadio Vineyard in Kersbrook and the Christmas Hill Vineyard in Kuitpo, which make for a wine true to our medium bodied, savoury style.

La Prova

Sam Scott is an excellent guy and a supremely talented winemaker with a clear vision for his La Prova label. Sam aims to make a tastefully packaged range of Australian-grown Italian varieties and deliver them at tremendous value for money. Sounds good to us!

Over a couple of decades making wine in South Australia, Sam has identified his favourite vineyards through Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley and Langhorne Creek where these emerging varieties are best suited to grow and thrive.

The wines he crafts from these vineyards are vibrant and fruit-forward but with a savoury twist and great varietal character. Bang-for-your-buck-wise, the range is up there with the best in the country.

James Halliday once noted, “Scott is a star in the making.” It's fair to say, that star has fully arrived.
