What does the Sangiovese taste like?

Sangiovese wines adapt very much to the climate, but in every wine there are always a number of recognizable characteristics. Sangiovese always has a lively acidity, a very full taste of sour cherries and often some Mediterranean herbs of oregano, thyme, but sometimes eucalyptus. In addition to the acidity, there are also quite a few tannins in sangiovese, which makes it a good addition to your food and allows the wine to age well. Both the acids and the tannins are good preservative substances in the wine. Sangiovese is all about Italy: you can smell recognizable aromas of cherries, figs and cranberries, but sometimes even tomato, earthy notes and hints of coffee, leather and herbs when aged in wood.
