I had a Sangiovese recently and I have to say it’s my new favorite wine. Or at least this kind was excellent. It was light, refreshing and all around delicious. Does anyone else have a sangiovese they recommend?

The oft-maligned grape, with a little work, can make good wines.

The sangiovese grape is native to Tuscany and is the main grape in Chianti & Brunello wines. It would certainly go well with most hearty foods from that area and would go especially well with roasted & grilled meats.

Notes on the Brunello wine scandal.

Drink what famous people are drinking, and making.

Mountains of pecorino cheese make a creamy sauce; freshly ground pepper gives it a kick.

A hearty version of a classic.

One of my favorite wines was the sangiovese made by Zenaida. They have recently trashed all their sangiovese vines, as has Justin. Mastantuono made a sangiovese, but they just went out of business and the winery that took them...

Which Barbera? Which Sangiovese? If the answer is “I don't know; I haven't purchased it yet,” then go off the board with Zinfandel or an Irpinia IGT or Aglianico wine from Italy. Vesevo is a very affordable producer...

Heady red wine + wild pork = delicious

Crunchy, crusty potatoes with a hint of herbs and garlic.

Shallots and red chile flakes flavor this simple sauté.
