Pretty sure it's C: Sangiovese
Thanks, MD.
It is C) Sangiovese
Thanks, Vino.
Yes, Joe, the answer is C, Sangiovese :)
There are a few more grapes which are also good candidates for this name game – Viura and Tempranillo would be the two. Also you can confuse the hell out of people with Pinot Franc (and this one really confuses many).
But then you can play another game, like "where grape called Resi" is from :)
Cheers!
Thanks, all! talkvino – agreed, Temp was our first one in this series :). Love the idea of placing a home region to a grape!
Sangiovese.
This is typical of the problems we have with Italian nomenclature of grapes. In Sicily there is a grape (I believe it is Nero d'Avola) also known as Calabrese.
Attilio Scienza (Dr. Science) would be a good source to clarify this. Professor Scienza said that Sangiovese comes “from a combination of grapes some of them from Southern Italy: Calabrese di Montenuvo, Mantunico Bianco and Gaglioppo from Calabria and Nerello Macalese from Sicily” according to the blog post that Charles Scicolone ( one of the top Italian wine epxerts in USA) posted about the subject. http://www.i-italy.org/bloggers/16699/montefalco-…
Also Susannah Gold has a take on this http://avvinare.com/2012/01/05/italian-indigenous…
just something to think about…never just an easy ( or simple) answer with Italian wines
Thanks, Alfonso – awesome references for those of us (like me :) who want to go down the geeky rabbit hole on this stuff. Cheers!
Thanks AC for the shout out on this award winning wine blog. Scienza is an amazing resource. Your not bad yourself 1WineDude
Susannah – thanks for that! :)
Mama Mia – it's the sangiovese
Mo – Grazie amico mio!
Alright my smarties, here is your official Wine Quiz Answer:
C. Sangiovese
Several clones of Sangiovese are used to make wines throughout Italy. Chianti is probably the best known red wine made from the variety, but it is also used to make Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile de Montepulciano, in quite different styles, of course.
Cheers!
Sangiovese
Thanks Pam (ahhh, but you’re just a tad late! :-).
Can people actually know this while not knowing how to speak Italian? I have only heard of the term "Barbera" before, while not fully knowing what it was about haha.
Palazzo – I think so. We can't make the quizzes too easy ;-).
