Sangiovese

Sangiovese

Italy’s most planted black grape and the pride of the Tuscan wine region, Chianti. Sangiovese is commonly labelled by its regional name rather than by variety, and you’ll often find it blended with other black grape varieties.

Sangiovese is a bit of a chameleon, taking on different stylistic expressions based on where it grows. From the delicate floral strawberry aromas of Montefalco Rosso to the intensely dark and tannic wines of Brunello di Montalcino, Sangiovese wine has something for everyone.

Producing dry wines with high tannins and high acidity, Sangiovese offers a wide range of tastes from very earthy and rustic to round and fruit-forward. Regardless of where it’s grown, it always has red fruit flavours (red cherry, red plum) with notes of tomato and dried herbs.
