Danzante Sangiovese
The Grape
Etymologists believe that this red grape's name is derived from "Sanguis Jovis", which means "the Blood of Jove/Jupiter". Its beginnings are thought to predate Roman times, and today is one of the most widely cultivated grape varieties in Italy.
Regional Notes
Danzante Sangiovese is sourced from Hillside vineyards in the Marche region, east of Tuscany, where the nearby Adriatic Sea guarantees a temperate climate. The deep, clay soils and southern exposure result in grapes of intense and spicy flavor. With an annual production of over 2 million hectoliters, the Marche region is one of Italy's most important wine growing regions.
