Sangiovese is Tuscany's signature grape, and the red heart of our vineyards since 1968. Loose clusters, thin skin and a lively acidity give it real character, prized across the region for generations. It ripens in September and prefers well-exposed hillside soils, where it finds the ideal conditions to thrive. It remains the variety closest to our heart.
