It's at its best in Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. It has think skin and can be prone to rot. It can often have a long ripening season, with harvests in Tuscany often not coming until October. This makes a long-lived, high-alchohol wine in hot years, and an overly acidic, high-tannin wine in cold years. Sangiovese is increasingly grown in areas outside Italy due to its popularity.
