Sangiovese

Sangiovese is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy, used to produce medium-bodied red wines with high acidity, high tannins, and high aging potential. The famous Brunello di Montalcino, known for its bold fruit flavours, is made with 100% Sangiovese. These wines reveal cherry, blackberry and violet when young, and candied cherry, dried fig and leather when aged. More delicate, floral Sangiovese wines are produced in Umbria.
