Tuscany is the heartland of the Sangiovese grape, the name of which derives from Sanguis Jovis, ‘the blood of Jupiter’. Thought to be an indigenous vine cultivated by the Etruscans, it is of course the mainstay of Chianti wine production, one of one of the most famous wine regions in the world. Yet the Chianti and Chianti Classico zones, and their wines, like others made from the Sangiovese grape, vary considerably.
