Sangiovese

Red Grape Variety
Romanian Wines - Sangiovese
Sangiovese is a grape variety with origins in Italy, considered one of the country's most important native varieties. It is often associated with the Tuscany region and is the main ingredient in famous wines such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The characteristics of Sangiovese vary depending on the specific terroir, but it generally produces wines with a balance between acidity and tannins. Its aromas and flavors can include red fruits such as cherries, plums, and raspberries, complemented by subtle notes of spices and herbs. Sangiovese wines range in style from fruity and fresh in their youth to more complex and robust with aging in wooden barrels. Some producers choose to blend Sangiovese with other varieties to add depth and complexity to the final wines.

Sangiovese in Romania

In Romania, around 73 hectares are cultivated with Sangiovese. This variety is less widespread compared to other international or indigenous varieties. However, several Romanian producers have begun to cultivate Sangiovese in various wine regions, including Muntenia, Dobrogea, and Transylvania.

The moderate-continental climate in these regions provides favorable conditions for Sangiovese cultivation, and the varied soils contribute to the development and maturation of the grapes.

Sangiovese wines produced in Romania can vary in style but often retain the specific acidity and tannin characteristics of the variety. They may exhibit aromas of both red and black fruits, accompanied by subtle nuances of spices and herbs.

Although Sangiovese production in Romania is still developing and not as widespread as in other wine-producing countries, interest in this variety is growing. Romanian producers are increasingly exploring its potential to create quality wines. Sangiovese adds diversity to Romania's wine landscape and offers exciting opportunities for the production of distinctive and characterful wines.
