Wines made from Sangiovese grapes of Pietraviva
Discover the best wines made with Sangiovese as a single variety or as a blend of Pietraviva.
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.
Sub-zone of Valdarno di Sopra DOC (Arezzo, eastern Tuscany, sandy soils and pebbles, cool altitude climate). Signature Sangiovese: fine, elegant red with cherry, raspberry, violet, Mediterranean herbs and tannic-savoury notes, a delicate profile distinct from Chianti. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah as structured alternatives. Trebbiano and Chardonnay as bright whites with mineral-saline notes.
