Sangiovese Ombrie vin rouge tranquille

Origin

Natural cross between the almost unknown Calabrese di Montenuovo (mother) grape variety and the Ciliegiolo (father)

Also known as

Nielluccio, Prugnolo Gentile

Sangiovese from Umbria — the dominant variety of Tuscany, present in Umbria (Torgiano, Montefalco), grown on the clay-limestone soils and tuff terraces with a Mediterranean climate with continental influence — produces fruity, elegant and well-structured reds, often blended with Sagrantino or other local varieties.
