Sangiovese is Medium-Bodied Red Wine
Sangiovese is a red Italian wine grape variety that derives its name from the Latin sanguis Jovis, “the blood of Jupiter”. Though it is the grape of most of central Italy from Romagna down to Lazio (the most widespread grape in Tuscany),Campania and Sicily, outside Italy it is most famous as the only component of Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino and the main component of the blends Chianti, Carmignano, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Morellino di Scansano, although it can also be used to make varietal wines such as Sangiovese di Romagna and the modern “Super Tuscan” wines like Tignanello.
Young Sangiovese has fresh fruity flavours of strawberry and a little spiciness, but it readily takes on oaky, even tarry, flavours when aged in barrels. While not as aromatic as other red wine varieties such as Pinot noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, Sangiovese often has a flavour profile of sour red cherries with earthy aromas and tea leaf notes. Wines made from Sangiovese usually have medium-plus tannins and high acidity.

In the 23rd generation of wine production (!!!), this very traditional and classic producer has moved to low intervention in the vineyards, renewable energy sources on property, and conservation of local plant and animal life. The wines are Sangiovese the way it should taste– beautiful acidity, fruit, and just built to go with food.

Castagnoli is a small estate in Castellina in Chianti on the western edge of the Chianti Classico DOCG. This estate possesses a striking terroir, one of Chianti’s most beautiful. Steep terraces are carved out of a western facing amphitheatre below the winery. The soil is highly decomposed and flaky galestro schist. The Sangiovese vines are pruned…
A collision between the old and new. It marries warm, spicy, red-fruit driven Cabernet Sauvignon with Bordeaux varietals, grippy Sangiovese and the opulent wild brambly fruit of Zinfandel. It’s the wine an old Italian guy would make if he inherited a California vineyard. This wine is derived from Kuleto Estate’s very first Sangiovese bottling
Grapes: 50% Carignan, 30% Zinfandel, 20% Sangiovese
