Tuscany Masterclass

Sangiovese, considered one of the most fickle of all grape varieties, has a long history in its spiritual home of Tuscany. However, its rise to prominence and worldwide popularity has not been as straightforward as you may think. The importance of site, winemaking philosophy, Tuscany as a global mecca for tourism, wine trends, and international investment have all played a part in its checkered story.

Yet, there is no doubt that at its best, it can produce world-class, complex, and often ageworthy wines that are singular and truly speak of place. This masterclass will be an exploration of what makes great Sangiovese in its spiritual home, the stylistic differences between appellations, and an understanding of its rise to prominence over the years.
