Sangiovese is a variety defined by the interplay of high acidity and distinctly textured tannins, where both elements work together to create a wine of tension and structure. The acidity is high in level, typically tangy and vibrant, giving the wine energy and lift while driving it across the palate with clarity and freshness.
The tannins are moderate in level and characteristically sandy or grainy, most clearly felt on the gums. This texture gives a dry, slightly abrasive sensation in youth, often described as fine but firm, contributing to the wine’s tactile identity. Unlike more polished or silky tannins, Sangiovese’s structure is more rustic and textural, reinforcing its sense of place.
The fruit profile sits through the mid-palate, often showing a distinctive dusty quality that complements the tannic texture. This creates a contrast between the central fruit and the structural elements framing it, with acidity providing lift and tannins adding grip.
Overall, Sangiovese is savoury, structured and energetic, with its hallmark being the combination of vibrant acidity and grainy tannins, resulting in a wine that feels both refreshing and firmly built, with a clear emphasis on texture as much as flavour.
