What to Expect

Sangiovese's claim to fame is its role as the heart of Chianti, Brunello and many Super Tuscan wines though it is gaining ground as a varietal wine around the globe. When grown in a suitable location the grape's soft tannins, succulent acidity and moderately intense cherry and herb flavors make Sangiovese very easy to drink as well as supremely versatile at the dinner table.

Intense ruby red in color. The bouquet is very fruity with scents of iris and violets. This is a robust, well balanced and structured Chianti with deep cherry flavors and firm tannins. Recommended with hearty vegetable soups and pastas in meat sauces. Also a great choice for roasted meats and game.
