Italy’s Sangiovese offerings were once dominated by high-yield versions, grown for quantity over quality. That has changed. Planted in the right place and farmed in the right way, the wines can be sublime, as the top examples from Tuscany attest. Our October double issue explores the history of this essential grape and the regions across Italy that are its future.
Also in this issue are three jam-packed tasting reports—spanning Spain, Tuscany and California’s Rhône-style wines—as well as a wine focus on Austria, a profile on a Cheddar master and more!
