Sangiovese
A black grape widely grown in Central Italy and the main component of
Chianti
and Vino Nobile
di Montepulciano as well as being the sole permitted grape for the
famed Brunello di
Montalcino.
It is a high yielding, late ripening grape that performs best on well-drained calcareous soils on south-facing hillsides. For years it was blighted by poor clonal selection and massive overcropping - however since the 1980s the quality of Sangiovese-based wines has rocketed upwards and they are now some of the most sought after in the world.
It produces wines with pronounced tannins and acidity, though not always with great depth of colour, and its character can vary from farmyard/leather nuances through to essence of red cherries and plums. In the 1960s the advent of Super Tuscans saw bottlings of 100% Sangiovese wines, as well as the introduction of Sangiovese/Cabernet Sauvignon blends, the most famous being Tignanello.

"Blessed with a great vintage, this concentrated wine has a richly perfumed
loganberry and black fruit nose, with hints of cold tea. The palate is
moreishly textured with violet scented chocolate and cherry fruit flavours,
pepped up by some racy acidity. For me Vino Nobile still holds its own, ...

The Classico region tends to produce fuller, meatier styles of Chianti, and this is a prime example. Extra body is provided by the addition of Cabernet Sauvignon to the Sangiovese. The palate shows plenty of warm fleshy bitter cherry fruit amid a broad structure, softened through 2-3 years of ... MORE | ||||
