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.

Bright, ruby-red. The bouquet is intense with violets, raspberries and iris scents and overtones of aromatic hay, spices and toasted almonds. The taste is dry, full, harmonious with an elegant aftertaste of liquorice, ripe fruits and jam. This Chianti pairs well with roasts and grilled red meat, game, lamb, aged cheese.
