Region

The scenic hills of Tuscany are home to the cities of Florence and Siena, as well as to Chianti, a blend made primarily from the Sangiovese grape. It was once known as an inexpensive table wine marked by its bulbous bottle and woven base, but efforts by innovative winemakers have produced very fine examples that have made the wine world reconsider the cliché. Chianti is a dry, medium-bodied wine with high acids, moderate tannins and flavors of cherry, herbs and sweet spice.One of the most aged and revered wines in Italy is Brunello di Montalcino, made entirely from a clone of Sangiovese grown near the town of Montalcino. It is a medium- to full-bodied dry wine that tastes of black fruits, earth and pepper.

Varietal


Sangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. Virtually synonymous with the red wines of Tuscany, and all the romanticism that goes with the territory, Sangiovese is the core constituent in some of the great names in Italian wine. Italy's love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world's – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought.

Food Pairing

Pair with rosemary lamb chops or a dinner of roast duck.

Tasting Notes

The wine is bright red with a fragrant and aromatic bouquet of red fruit, minerals and flowers. The wine has a cheery and red berry character with notes of balsamic, cedar and earth. Full bodied with powerful structure and balanced tannins.
