Why Sangiovese Should Be Your New Wine BFF
Sangiovese: Tuscany's sassy rebel grape, defying rules and rocking palates with bold cherry, spice, and earth. Pair it with pasta, steak, and forget seafood! Your new Italian BFF, ready to party or age like vintage balsamic. Ask your wine guru for cellar secrets.
Forget your Merlot Mondays and Cabernet cravings. There's a new red in town, and it's got sass, tannins, and a story that reads like a Medici family opera. We're talking about Sangiovese, the grape that's been rocking Tuscany since the 1700s (way before your nonno was sipping his first espresso).
Think of Sangiovese as the rebel of the Italian wine world. Back in the day, it was all about blending this temperamental grape with Canaiolo, like making friends with the chill kid to calm your inner drama queen. But then, Bettino Ricasoli (a name cooler than a gelato stand in July) entered the scene and declared, “Sangiovese can go solo, baby!” And solo it did, becoming the heart and soul of Chianti.
