Montipulciano | Cabernet | Sangiovese

This wine commemorates a remarkable woman who we look to as ‘The Godmother’ of Black Barn Vineyards.

Arriving from Ischia in 1947, Concetta Lombardi settled in Havelock North.

Under her Kiwi name Tina Green with husband Bill they established Lombardi Wines. In 1994, as leaseholders of the land and in acknowledgement of Tina, we planted five rows in the Italian varieties of Sangiovese and Montepulciano. This is a stunning Italian blend celebrating a proud woman who may have become a Kiwi blend herself, but like this wine, also remained proudly and staunchly Italian.

Offering stunning purity and poise, the wine shows dark plum, sweet cherry, floral, tapenade and roasted nut characters on the nose. The succulent palate delivers beautifully rounded mouthfeel and fine texture, finishing persistent and velvety. Wonderfully layered and elegantly structured.

At its best: 2024 to 2040

An intense mouth-filling wine with dark fruit characters and texture.  Pepper, spice and toast notes liven the solid aromas of the fruit, especially dark-flesh plums.

Luscious tannins fill the mouth, blending into a strong wine of remarkable fruit and oak characters. Grapes are 100% estate grown then basket pressed and aged in oak barrels.

Great cellaring potential.

Together with Imagination Gin maker, the Black Barn winemaking team chose some tightly grained and lightly toasted French oak barriques which were used in the production of our Syrah.  Back in the distillery they were filled with the highest quality triple distilled dry gin and let time and nature do it’s thing. The result is an exquisite gin with a vibrant fruit nose and a hint of toffee and cinnamon. The initial sweet spice on the palate gives way to a soft piney oak body and a lingering dry spice finish.
