• Sangiovese

An important grape in some of the greatest red wines of Italy, this hard-working Tuscan native is coming into its own as a stand-alone varietal. Wines from the Sangiovese can be medium- to full-bodied and medium to high in tannin. Typically they are characterized by cherry and spice flavors, sometimes with hints of violet, and sometimes even slightly nutty. Sangiovese wines are constantly evolving, depending on where the grapes were grown and what, if any, additional grapes are blended with them.
