High acid and firm tannin make Sangiovese a food grape above all else. Sour cherry, dried herbs and a savory, earthy edge rather than sweet fruit. Tuscany is Sangiovese country, from everyday Chianti to the long-lived reds of Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced blends of the coast. Bottled by Antinori Tenuta Tignanello Solaia from the 2020 harvest. A short decant helps. Made for tomato-based dishes, grilled meat, and hard cheese.
