Italy's most planted grape โ€” from Chianti to Brunello to Morellino. Infinitely versatile: everyday quaffers to profound, age-worthy wines.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro tip: Taste Sangiovese across its expressions: a Chianti Classico, a Brunello di Montalcino, a Morellino di Scansano, and a Romagna Sangiovese. Same grape, four different worlds.

Where to start

Buy a bottle of Sangiovese from a local enoteca, open it with dinner, and let the wine tell you about the region.
