Umbria Rosso IGT
Sangiovese is one of the most widespread Italian grape varieties, from Romagna to Campania to southern Italy in Calabria.
Sangiovese has now also become popular in California, thanks to the international success of so-called "super tuscans" wines.
From Napa Valley, it has spread to major California wine areas from Sonoma County to San Luis Obispo.
