Sangiovese is Italy's most planted red grape variety and the backbone of some of the country's most celebrated wines, including Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Known for its bright acidity, firm tannins, and signature notes of red cherry, dried herbs, and a distinctive savoury, almost tomato-leaf edge, Sangiovese is a true food wine — built to be enjoyed alongside a meal rather than on its own. Our Sangiovese collection brings together bottles from Tuscany and beyond, ranging from approachable, fruit-forward styles perfect for weeknight dinners to more structured, age-worthy expressions for special occasions. Sangiovese's natural acidity makes it a brilliant match for tomato-based pasta dishes, grilled meats, and aged cheeses — classic Italian pairings that have stood the test of time. Whether you're already a fan of Chianti or looking to explore lesser-known Sangiovese expressions from Romagna, Umbria, or beyond, this collection offers something for every palate and budget. Browse our range and discover why Sangiovese remains one of the world's most food-friendly red wines.
