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. Tuscan hillsides, poor soils and a long dry summer are the conditions Sangiovese needs to ripen properly. This is the 2022 from Tenuta della Ornellaia Masseto. A short decant helps. Made for tomato-based dishes, grilled meat, and hard cheese.
