Discover the best wines made with Sangiovese as a single variety or as a blend of Upper Thrace.
Firm, upright reds with precise acidity and angular tannins, showing aromas of sour cherry, plum, dried herbs, leather, black tea and balsamic notes. Characteristically bitter, savoury finish. Star of Chianti Classico DOCG, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG and Morellino di Scansano. Italy's most planted variety, a descendant of Ciliegiolo × Calabrese di Montenuovo.
The emblematic wine plain of southern Bulgaria (35% of the vineyards), temperate continental climate conducive to great reds. Mavrud as the native flagship red: deep, intense ripe cherry, blackberry, dark chocolate, leather, tobacco and spiced-balsamic notes, firm tannins and dense palate. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot as structured reds built for ageing. Rubin (Nebbiolo × Syrah) and Pamid in support.
