Discover the best wines made with Sangiovese as a single variety or as a blend of Morellino di Scansano.
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.
Tuscan coastal DOCG in Maremma (Grosseto province), Sangiovese signature (min. 85%, called Morellino) on clay-limestone soils. Signature fruity accessible reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, Mediterranean herbs and spice touch, round tannins and sunny mouth — maritime supple version of Sangiovese, to drink young. Warmer than Chianti thanks to coastal climate.
