Sangiovese

Sangiovese is a renowned red wine grape variety primarily grown in Italy, particularly in the central regions of Tuscany and Umbria. It is widely considered the quintessential grape of Italian winemaking, forming the backbone of esteemed wines such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Sangiovese grapes typically produce wines with medium to high acidity, moderate tannins, and flavors ranging from tart cherry and red plum to earthy undertones, herbs, and sometimes floral notes. Its versatility allows winemakers to craft a diverse array of styles, from fresh and fruity to rich and complex, making Sangiovese a beloved choice for both everyday enjoyment and cellar-worthy aging.
