An interesting red wine based primarily on the local Sangiovese (80-100%), with permission to use additional local, non-aromatic red grapes (0-20%). Though if only one grape is added, it must only constitute 10%. If more than one grape is added, they must only constitute a maximum of 20%.
This usually produces a ruby red wine with a good intensity. The aroma is vinous and fruity, and the taste dry and ample.
There is also a Reserve, where the requirements for alcohol concentration and aging are higher and longer.
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
