SANGIOVESE

Sangiovese is a red wine grape variety originating in Italy whose name derives from sanguis Jovis , "the blood of Jove".

It is most famous as the main component of the Chianti blend in Tuscany, but winemakers outside Italy are starting to experiment with it.

Young sangiovese has fresh fruity flavours of strawberry and a little spiciness, but it readily takes on oaky, even tarry, flavours when aged in barrels.

The traditional home of Sangiovese is in Tuscany, although it has spread to other regions of Italy.

Although it can be found as a varietal, and as a single-variety wine such as Brunello di Montalcino or Sangiovese di Romagna , Sangiovese is most often found as the major component of blends such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Morellino di Scansano.

The grape is also used to make some modern "Super Tuscan" wines like Tignanello.

Nowadays practically all Sangiovese in Tuscany is either Brunello or a very similar clone.
