Discover Sangiovese Wines

Sangiovese is a blue-black grape varietal used mainly for red wine production. It's long been associated with Italy, particularly Tuscany, where the grape is said to have originated. Sangiovese is a confusing grape variety since there are many clones and sub-types that are occasionally referred to by its generic name. It is the predominant variety in a number of Italian wines, which are typically labeled with the DOCG designation. This type is utilized in many red wine mixes, particularly Chianti, in terms of wine styles.

While Sangiovese is widely cultivated in Italy, it is produced in considerably lesser quantities in other old world European nations.

Sangiovese, on the other hand, has been discovered to thrive in certain new world settings, notably Argentina, Texas, and California, where it thrives in the climate and limestone composition of its individual terroirs. Limestone, in particular, seems to accentuate the wine's distinct mineral and earthy character.
