Sangiovese is a prominent red wine grape variety primarily grown in Italy, known for its vibrant flavors and versatility. Characterized by notes of cherry, plum, and tomato, it often exhibits earthy undertones alongside aromas of red fruits, violets, herbs, and spice. This grape thrives in regions such as Tuscany—home to renowned wines like Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino—as well as Emilia-Romagna and Umbria.
The texture of Sangiovese wines typically features medium to high acidity with medium tannins that contribute to a smooth finish. Winemaking techniques often involve fermentation in stainless steel or oak barrels, followed by aging in large barrels or barriques to enhance complexity. Sangiovese pairs beautifully with tomato-based dishes like pasta and pizza, grilled meats, aged cheeses, and mushroom risotto, making it an excellent choice for casual dining or celebratory meals centered around Italian cuisine.
