タイトルの割にはサンジョヴェーゼに関する日記がほとんど無い。
栽培もしていなければ葡萄酒を飲んでもいない。
予定ではトスカーナに移住して毎日浴びるようにBrunello di Montalcinoを呑んでいるはずだったのだが…
まぁ人生思うように行かない物だ。
そんな訳でsangioveseについて知りたい人がうっかりここに来てしまったとしても、それもまた思うように行かない人生の一部という事でご容赦願いたい。
とは言えGoogleでsangioveseで検索すると3位になってしまうというのは、筆者が望んだことではないとは言え訪問者に申し訳ない。


という訳で免罪符の記事。
ワインの葡萄品種のsangioveseについて知りたい人は下記リンク先をご参照ください。

Sangiovese (synonyms: Brunello, Morellino, Prugnolo, Sangioveto, Tignolo and Uva Canina) is a red wine grape variety originating in Italy where it is now recognised as a superior variety. Although it can be found as a varietal such as Brunello di Montalcino or Sangiovese di Romagna, it often forms part of a blend. The traditional home of Sangiovese is in Tuscany, and it is the major component in blends such as Chianti and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

Brunello is a superior clone of Sangiovese known as sangiovese grosso. Sangiovese is being planted in vineyards worldwide as part of growing fashion for Italian style wines, but some believe it has not produced wines anywhere near the quality of a great Brunello. It is known as a slow ripening wine.

The name derives from sanguis Jovis, "the blood of Jove".

Sangiovese is becoming increasingly popular as a red wine grape in Australia. This is part of a growing trend in Australia to use a wider range of grape varieties for winemaking. Some wineries also use Sangiovese to make rosé wines.
