Sangiovese
Sangiovese

that derives its name from the Latin

, "the blood of
Jove
". Though it is the grape of most of central Italy from Romagna down to Lazio, Campania and Sicily, outside Italy it is most famous as the only component of
Brunello di Montalcino
and
Rosso di Montalcino
and the main component of the blend
Chianti
,
Carmignano
,
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
and
Morellino di Scansano
, although it can also be used to make
varietal
wines such as Sangiovese di
Romagna
and the modern "Super Tuscan" wines like
Tignanello
.
