Wines made from Sangiovese grapes of Colli Pesaresi
Discover the best wines made with Sangiovese as a single variety or as a blend of Colli Pesaresi.
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 on the hills of Pesaro along the Foglia, Metauro and Cesano valleys (Adriatic to Apennines), clay-limestone soils, temperate Mediterranean climate. Sangiovese is the signature red (≥70% in Rosso, ≥85% in varietal): fruity and full-bodied with cherry, plum, violet, herbs and a spiced touch, firm tannins — a historic favourite of Rossini. Airy Pinot Noir complements. Textured Pecorino, taut Verdicchio and floral Biancame in mineral whites.
