This is a taste
of things to come, a preview of April's Sangiovese
fest. Today we'll limit our passion for this grape to a focus on one
excellent example from southwestern Tuscany. But if you share our
enthusiasm for Sangiovese, be sure to check our Events listings below
for details on the Week of Sangiovese.
The amazing thing about Sangiovese is that it has a distinct character, but you can drink innumerable incarnations and permutations of it with totally different personalities. It is possible, easy even, to drink Sangiovese all the time without getting bored, or even realizing that what you are drinking is Sangiovese. As the base for thousands of wines from Chianti, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Emilia-Romagna, (to name just a handful) Sangiovese lends its quality to building the reputation of many of Italy's great wine regions.
