However, since you were thoughtful in sharing this experience and your research with us, I thought I'd try to get some answers to your question by some research of my own. <BR/><BR/>It seems that while we all know Sangiovese as a varietal of Italian wine, there are scores of subvarieties, one of which is the Sangiovese Grosso, also known as Prugnolo Gentile or Prugnolo--this site seems to provide some good information on wine (http://en.mimi.hu/wine/index_wine.html). Another website I came across explained the Prugnolo grape getting it's name from it's distinguishing "plummy" color (http://www.bryny.com/grapes.htm). <BR/>Given this information, it could be argued you DID accomplish your mission in trying a non-Tuscany Sangiovese subvarietal--regardless how you spin this argument, it was interesting research!Jon-Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597198660614340324noreply@blogger.com
