Chocolate and Sangiovese wine pairing

 Sangiovese wine originated from Italy. Central part of Italy specialises on growing this thin-skinned type of grapes with Tuscany region being the main land for that.

  Sangiovese wines have fruity/berry taste like plum, cherry, strawberry as well as vanilla or cinnamon and some have a strong nutty undertone. Wines vary from medium to full-bodied with an acidity level being accordingly medium to high.

  All these flavors make Sangiovese wines a good match to dark chocolate as the latter helps to fully appreciate wine flavors. Sangiovese wines are popular in being mixed with other wines to create new complex varieties.

Premium Wine List: Pizzini Sangiovese 2006*

"(King Valley, Vic)'OK, it's time you grabbed yourself some of this. It is Pizzini's best Sangiovese yet. What really elevates it though is the wine's perfectly judged acidity and mature, ripe tannin; this is right on the money. Drink: 2008-2013. 93/100' Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront"
