Wines made from Sangiovese grapes of Rosso di Montepulciano
Discover the best wines made with Sangiovese as a single variety or as a blend of Rosso di Montepulciano.
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 DOC sister to Vino Nobile around Montepulciano (250-600 m), local Sangiovese "Prugnolo Gentile" (min. 70%) with Canaiolo and Mammolo. Fresh and approachable red: vibrant aromas of red cherry, raspberry, violet, plum, white pepper, wild herbs and mineral hint, lively acidity and fine tannins — young version of the great Nobile, short ageing (~4 months). Drink within 2-4 years, food-friendly and pleasurable.
