Sangiovese

Red berry variety most widespread on the national territory , it is grown mainly in central Italy and in particular in Tuscany , of which it is undoubtedly the standard-bearer . Sangiovese is in fact the only grape allowed for the production of Brunello di Montalcino , but it can also be used alone in wines of other denominations such as Chianti , Chianti Classico , Nobile di Montepulciano, Morellino di Scansano, as well as in the so-called " Supertuscan ", that have contributed so much to the fame of this grape in the world.

Good ductility, it adapts to different soil and climatic conditions by providing distinctly territorial wines , but offers the best if grown on poor soils, rich in skeleton and with a good percentage of limestone. The wine from this grape has a bright ruby red color, which is expressed on the nose with characteristic aromas of cherry, morello cherry and ripe red fruit. On the palate it is full-bodied, with thick and elegant tannins, good freshness and aromatic persistence .

Among the Sangiovese wines that received the prestigious Tre Bicchieri award from the Gambero Rosso guide in the current year, the following are worth mentioning: the Chianti Classico Riserva di Val delle Corti, the Chianti Classico Riserva "Novecento" by Dievole, the Chianti Classico Gran Selection "Colledilà" of Barone Ricasoli, the Noble of Montepulciano "I Quadri" of Bindella, the Noble of Montepulciano "Il Nocio" of Boscarelli and Brunello di Montalcino "Tenuta Greppo" of Biondi Santi.
