Character & context
Understanding Sangiovese
Sangiovese is central to Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino, while regional rules and blends give it many forms. It can be brisk and youthful or substantial and age-worthy. This is the grape itself; the Tuscany guide provides broader regional context, including wines based on other varieties.
