The Pella Die Hang Sangiovese pampers the senses with an inviting bouquet of black cherries, dark plums, ripe mulberries and a touch of oregano. Aromas that are also reflected on the palate and, together with a taut acidity, end in a long-lasting finish that is deliciously pleasing.
The name "The Hang" (Afrikaans) refers to the steep slope on which the Sangiovese vineyard is located. Fresh sea breezes from the Atlantic and Indian Ocean allow the fruit to develop slowly and ripen to full intensity.

The grapes were fermented at a low temperature all over the bunch, with the marc cap being submerged daily. Once fermentation was complete, the grapes were transferred to the traditional basket press. The wine matured for 12 months in French barriques.
