The original varietal name for Sangiovese was Sanguis Jovis in Latin, meaning "blood of Jove". There are at least 14 clones of this grape variety. The grapes thrive in a hot dry environment and do not grow well above 1500 feet. Sangiovese is most noted for being the base of Chianti, as no less than 90% of the blend is from this variety. Several of the clones are noted for being blended in other wines throughout Italy.http://www.cal-italia.org/varietals/sangiovese.html
Serving Information
Sangiovese pairs well with red meats, and high fat foods, such as olive oil marinated poultry and vegetables grilled with herbs. Most of the wines from this varietal are consumed within three to four years, but there are some that are aged beyond that time, such as Chianti Classico Riserva which can be aged up to 15 years. Flavors include strawberry, blueberry, orange peel, plum, violet, cinnamon, clove, and thyme.http://www.winepros.org/wine101/grape_profiles/sangiovese.htm-
