Description: The name of this Italian variety comes from the Latin sanguis Jovis signifying the blood of Jupiter. It is a fairly common variety of central Italy, which gives both fresh and aged wines. Originally they are distinguished from fresh fruity aromas like strawberry, which by staying in the barrel turn into ripe odors which sometimes are reminiscent of tar and oak. In our country this variety is vinified in small quantities, giving very remarkable wines.
Typical wine characteristics: Aromatic and complex
