Sangiovese
Sangiovese is Italy's most famous and widely planted red grape variety. It forms the basis of world-renowned wines such as Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Sangiovese thrives particularly well in Tuscany, where the warm climate and calcareous soils produce elegant wines with great character.
Sangiovese is known for its fresh acidity, refined tannins, and aromas of ripe cherries, plums, violets, and Mediterranean herbs. Depending on the wine style and oak aging, notes of vanilla, tobacco, leather, and spices can also emerge. Thanks to its beautiful balance of fruit and freshness, Sangiovese is a particularly versatile wine that pairs excellently with pasta, pizza, grilled meats, game dishes, and aged Italian cheeses.
Whether you choose an accessible Chianti or a powerful Brunello di Montalcino, Sangiovese always showcases the character of its origin.
