The Sangiovese variety is a red wine grape variety that derives its name from the Latin word ‘sanguis Jovis’, which refers to “the blood of Jove”. Sangiovese originated in Italy and is the most widely planted grape variety of the nation but can be scarcely found outside Italy. A good Sangiovese wine is one in which the acidic content is high, and the tannins are smooth and firm. The Sangiovese variety has an amazing feature similar to a chameleon – it’s that this grape variety can alter its genetics as required to thrive in the surroundings. The Sangiovese wine profile contains flavours of tart cherry, fig, strawberry and red plum. Additional flavours include smoke, thyme, dried roses, leather, clay, roasted pepper, oregano and brick, altogether leading up to a dry, acidic finish. This savoury wine tastes delicious when served with dishes like roasted meat, hard cheeses, cured sausages, and braised or roasted vegetables.
