Sangiovese
Sangiovese is Italy’s great storyteller, a grape that captures sunlight, soil, and history with effortless honesty. From the rolling hills of Chianti to the heights of Montalcino and Montepulciano, it shifts shape with its surroundings, yet always remains unmistakably itself. Bright cherry, red plum, violets, dried herbs, and that signature twist of savoury earth form its core, supported by lively acidity and fine, taut tannins. It’s a grape that thrives on contrast: ripe yet refreshing, rustic yet refined, expressive yet beautifully restrained.
What makes Sangiovese so compelling is its emotional range. In Chianti Classico it’s vibrant and graceful; in Brunello di Montalcino it becomes deeper, more structured, almost meditative; in Vino Nobile it shows elegance and quiet depth. Winemakers can age it in large old casks for purity, or smaller barrels for polish, either way, Sangiovese carries its terroir with uncommon clarity. It’s a wine that comes alive at the table, made for food, conversation, and those long, glowing evenings Italy is famous for. Sangiovese doesn’t try to impress, it simply is, and that authenticity is its greatest charm.
