Sangiovese …the grape of Tuscany!

Tuscany is the most popular destination in Italy and with good reason: old, historic towns full of Renaissance art, duomos, leaning towers, bustling markets, amazing restaurants, surrounded by pastoral countryside with vineyards and olive groves and wonderful, local cuisine.

Tuscany is located in central Italy with its west coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea (part of the Mediterranean). The grape of the region is Sangiovese. It’s a lighter red, full of dusty cherry flavors, and it’s acidic (tart) as heck – the perfect pairing for acidic foods like tomato-based pizzas & pastas. (It’s not intuitive, but pairing an acidic food with an acidic w**e neutralizes everything and is magic on your palate!) Chianti & Chianti Classico are both DOCG designations in Tuscany made of Sangiovese.

In its fancier forms (like the Sangiovese clones grown around the medieval villages of Montalcino & Montepulciano), it can be fuller-bodied, intense, and dry as a bone, capable of being aged for decades. Think: Brunello di Montalcino & Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

Sangiovese is grown throughout Italy, with varying impacts on style through different microclimates, soils, elevations, and more. Check out examples from Emilia-Romagna to the north of Tuscany in central Italy, one from Australia, and one from WA State (we carry several!).

Stop by and take a Sangiovese tour. It’s a wonderful grape, especially with fall dishes.
