Areas of cultivation It is the most cultivated and diffused vine in Italy, especially in the central areas, distinguishing itself in different biotypes and clones; Is also recently cultivated in the south. Sangiovese gives excellent wines in fresh, hot and cold areas of the day, which makes it difficult to reach the south.
History The Sangiovese is an ancient native red berry of Tuscany and seems to have its name at the end of Jupiter's blood with which the Etruscans indicated it in ancient times around the 7th century BC, in a sign of thanksgiving to the gods for this fruit Of the earth. It then appears that the Romans used the same term to indicate a wine produced in the area of ​​Monte Giove in the present municipality of Santarcangelo di Romagna near the Rubicone. But other written sources of the 16th century want to describe it with the name of Sangiocheto or Sangioveto, a productive and high quality grape that was mentioned in the cultivation of vines by Giovan Vettorio Soderini. Subsequently it was named Sangiovannese to describe a vine from San Giovanni Valdarno. The first law to protect the vine, rooted and fundamental in Tuscan territory, was issued in 1716 by Grand Duke Cosimo III de 'Medici to lay down rules for protection and production of Sangiovese wine in Chianti, Pomino, Carmignano and in the area Of the Valdarno. In the nineteenth century it was at the base of the Baron Ricasoli's wine that weighed its hard Chianti with Canaiolo.

Characteristics of the wine obtained from this grape variety With the sangiovese you get a ruby red wine, compact and lively. The scent is very intense and fine, fruity and floral, with marasca, viola and purple notes. The taste expresses an excellent balance between freshness, tanniness and alcoholicity, with important structure and great taste-olfactory persistence.
Notes It is one of the classic vines that enters the Chianti wine formula. Among the classic vineyards of Chianti is the fundamental one. In the typical mix of Chianti wine, it is within the range of zones ranging from 7/10. Among the various typical Chianti blends is the one containing 4/5 of black grapes (predominantly "Sangiovese" and a little "Canaiolo") and 1/5 of white grapes. It generally joins with "Black Canaiolo" (5-15%), "Malvasia" (5-15%) and "Trebbiano" (5-15%). It can also be obtained on its own, but if it gets a rather rough wine, it becomes too "orange" when aging.
