Wines made from Sangiovese grapes of Colli Maceratesi
Discover the best wines made with Sangiovese as a single variety or as a blend of Colli Maceratesi.
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.
DOC of the Marches (1975) on the hills of Macerata down to the Adriatic, calcareous and clayey soils. Maceratino (Ribona) as the rare exclusive white — dry and delicate with citrus, yellow apple, white flowers, fennel and a saline mineral touch, fresh acidity, often skin-macerated as an "orange" wine for more structure. Sangiovese as the red, blended with Montepulciano, Cabernet and Merlot: ruby and fruity with cherry notes and a hint of herbs, rounded tannins.
