Food Pairing: Sangiovese Riserva has the fruitiness and structure to complement spices such as garlic and red pepper. Try grilled beef tenderloin topped with mushrooms sauteed in garlic butter sauce and finished with a touch of Sangiovese Riserva. Type of Wine: Medium bodied red with high acidity and moderate tannins. Origin: Sangiovese roughly translates from Latin as " Sanguis Jovis” or “Blood of Jove". Jove was the Supreme God in Roman mythology. It is the principal grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Three clones of Sangiovese are the most sought after. The first clone, Sangioveto or Grosso is used for Chianti. The second clone, Brunello is used to make Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino and the third Prugnolo, for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano wines.
