Sangiovese is a medium- to high-acidity Italian red wine grape variety, primarily grown in Tuscany and central Italy, known for producing wines with cherry, plum, and herbal notes. It is the flagship grape for classics like Chiant i and Brunello di Montalcino blends. The name combines 'sangiu-' (blood) and '-gio/se' (of Jupiter/joy), reflecting its historical Vinum Familiae traditions.
