There's more to sangiovese than Chianti
As well as containing a nice description of our 2005 Seresin Estate Leah Pinot Noir, an article in Canada's Globe and Mail headed 'There's more to sangiovese than Chianti' tries to clear up some misunderstandings about Italian wine;
- Chianti is a region (an area of Tuscany between Florence and Siena) not a grape
- Sangiovese is the grape often associated with Chianti
- In the township of Montepulciano, in southern Tuscany, there is a wonderful wine called Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, which is made from sangiovese and not the grape called montepulciano.
