The grape variety Sangiovese

Red Grape Variety

Sangiovese is a distinguished Italian grape variety renowned for producing wines of remarkable character and complexity. Noted for its bright acidity and pronounced tannic structure, Sangiovese typically displays a vibrant aromatic profile consisting of sour cherry, red plum, and raspberry, complemented by subtle floral, earthy, and herbal undertones such as dried rose, violets, leather, and hints of tomato leaf. These primary aromas are often joined by nuances of spice, tobacco, and clove when aged in oak.

The grape thrives in several key Italian regions, most notably Tuscany, where it forms the backbone of celebrated appellations such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Sangiovese is also cultivated in Umbria, Emilia-Romagna, and even finds limited plantings in Australia and California.

Winemaking styles range from bright, medium-bodied wines intended for early consumption to fuller, age-worthy expressions with pronounced complexity and depth. Sangiovese wines typically pair beautifully with a range of dishes, particularly those rooted in Italian cuisine. Ideal matches include tomato-based pasta, roast meats, grilled vegetables, pizza, and hard cheeses, where the wine’s acidity and savoury character accentuate and complement bold flavours.
