Sangiovese is the red Italian grape behind the famous Chianti Classico wine. Known for its savoury flavours of cherry, tomato and oregano; it’s a great wine to pair with food. Sangiovese’s versatility means it can be made in different styles to suit the winemaker: from elegant and nuanced, to fruity and powerful, and everything in-between.
