Grapes & Style

Sangiovese

Sangiovese is the central red grape of Tuscany and one of Italy’s most important varieties. It’s the grape behind Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and many of the region’s most recognizable wines, though it appears under many local names and forms across central Italy.

In the vineyard, Sangiovese ripens relatively late and needs warmth, but it also needs enough freshness to keep its shape. It can be sensitive to site and clone, which helps explain the wide range of styles. The best examples often come from hillsides where ripeness, acidity, and tannin can all stay in balance.

In the glass, Sangiovese tends to show sour cherry, red plum, dried herbs, tea, tobacco, leather, earth, and a distinctly savory edge. It usually has noticeable acidity and firm, sometimes dusty tannins, which make it especially good with food. Great Sangiovese is not about plushness; it’s about tension, structure, and that unmistakable Italian savory snap.
