Casa Rovigatti fruit forward Sangiovese, I.G.T. (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) title used in the Marche region of eastern central Italy. It is a red Italian wine grape variety that derives its name from the Latin sanguis Jovis, “the blood of Jove”. Made with Vitis vinifera grapes (scientific name), Sangiovese wine is actually quite scarce outside of Italy. The Sangiovese grape is a bit of a chameleon; easily altering its genetics to fit the environment. There are many different mutations of the variety all over Italy, which results in very different tasting wines. Casa Rovigatti Sangiovese is a good-quality Sangiovese prized for its high acid, firm tannins and balanced nature. Savory dark cherry flavors and black stone fruit with more subtle notes of tomato.
Casa Rovigatti fruit forward Sangiovese, will work perfectly with rich roasted meat, cured sausages and hard cheeses. Try out a Slow-roasted pork with white bean mash!
