Italian Sangiovese is a red wine grape known for its starring role in the wines of Tuscany, including Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and “Super Tuscans”. Sangiovese wines are usually medium to full-bodied, with flavours of sour cherry, plum, and often notes of tomato leaf or earth. They typically have high acidity and firm tannins, making them great partners for food, especially Italian dishes. If you enjoy red wines that offer a balance of fruit, earthiness, and structure, and that are capable of ageing, wines made from Italian Sangiovese could be a wonderful choice for you.
