In this class, we’ll explore Sangiovese, Italy’s most important grape variety. Learn about its history, winemaking styles, and the key regions where it thrives. You’ll taste a selection of Sangiovese wines, including Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino, and discover how factors like terroir and tradition shape their flavors. This class is perfect for anyone looking to better understand this cornerstone of Italian wine.
