| | Sangiovese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Sangiovese is becoming increasingly popular as a red wine grape in Australia. |  | | Sangiovese (synonyms: Brunello, Morellino, Prugnolo, Sangioveto, Tignolo and Uva Canina) is a red wine grape variety originating in Italy where it is now recognised as a superior variety. |  | | Sangiovese is being planted in vineyards worldwide as part of growing fashion for Italian style wines, but has not produced wines anywhere near the quality of a great Brunello. |

| | DiWineTaste - Sangiovese |
 | | Countless are the wines in Tuscany produced as IGT with Sangiovese grapes, both as monovarietal as well as blended with other grapes. |  | | Sangiovese is found in most of the wines from central Italy and it is virtually found in every red wine from Tuscany, Umbria and Marches, most of the times vinified as monovarietal as well as being used, in different percentages, together with the local grapes of every region as well as with international grapes. |  | | Sangiovese wines are generally aged in casks - according to the typical tradition of central Italy - however modern enological practices have favored the introduction of barrique which is now very used with wines produced with this grape. |

| | Chianti at Italian Wine Merchants |
 | | Combine the individuality of each sub-region's terroir with the varying grape ingredients and mutations, producer style, vintage variation, normale/annata (aged a minimum of one year) or riserva (aged a minimum of two years), and cru or cuvee, and there is an enormous array that makes generalizations difficult. |  | | The formula of Chianti is always dominated by Sangiovese but can contain the white grapes Trebbiano and/or Malvasia to create a lighter, more approachable wine, or it may include a small percentage of Canaiolo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. |  | | The name Sangiovese is derived from the phrase sanguis Jovis, meaning 'blood of Jove.' To understand Italy's most likeable grape is to understand that its development took thousands of years beginning with its Etruscan infancy through the Middle Ages and into modern times. |
