Elegant, almost delicate, this complex and inviting wine from a Sangiovese specialist is medium bodied, well balanced and offers mostly subtle flavors that weave nicely through a supple and lightly firm texture. It has dried cherry and cranberry aromas, tangy fruit flavors and fine-grained tannins. Editors’ Choice
Among Italy's elite red grape varieties, Sangiovese has the perfect intersection of bright red fruit and savory earthiness and is responsible for the best red wines of Tuscany. While it is best known as the chief component of Chianti, it is also the main grape in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and reaches the height of its power and intensity in the complex, long-lived Brunello di Montalcino. Somm Secret—Sangiovese doubles under the alias, Nielluccio, on the French island of Corsica where it produces distinctly floral and refreshing reds and rosés.
