Sangiovese

Sangiovese is a red Italian grape that is the most widely planted red variety in Italy, especially in Tuscany where it is used for Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Its high acidity and light body make it very food‑friendly, often paired with tomato‑based pasta, pizza, and grilled meats. The wine typically shows flavors of bitter cherry, plum, mulberry, and herbal notes, sometimes with vanilla and spice from oak,.
