Sangiovese is one of Italy’s most important and recognisable red grape varieties, forming the backbone of many of the country’s greatest wines. Best known through Tuscany and classic appellations such as Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino, Sangiovese produces wines defined by bright acidity, savoury structure and a strong connection to food and place.
Compared with fuller and heavier red varieties, Sangiovese often leans fresher and more lifted, combining red cherry fruit, herbs, spice and earthy complexity with moderate tannins and vibrant acidity. Depending on climate, altitude and winemaking style, wines can range from light and energetic everyday reds to more structured and cellar-worthy expressions capable of ageing for decades.
Our Sangiovese range focuses on expressive growers producing wines with freshness, balance and regional character, from classic Tuscan appellations and elegant Chianti to lower-intervention bottlings and naturally made Italian reds. Alongside established producers, the collection also includes organically farmed and minimal intervention wines chosen for drinkability, texture and purity of fruit.
Expect flavours of sour cherry, plum, dried herbs, spice, tobacco and earthy savoury notes alongside wines that pair brilliantly with pasta, tomato-based dishes, grilled meat and aged cheese. Whether you prefer fresher youthful Sangiovese or more structured age-worthy styles from Tuscany, Sangiovese remains one of the most versatile and food-friendly grape varieties in the wine world.
