White Sangiovese. It is a phrase that stops wine lovers in their tracks — and rightly so. Sangiovese is Italy’s most celebrated red grape variety, the noble variety behind Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and one of the great red grapes of the world. And yet, vinified as a white — pressed immediately after harvest with minimal skin contact, so that the juice runs clear and the colour of the grape is left behind — it produces something quite unexpected and completely beguiling: a white wine of real aromatic character and freshness that carries the unmistakable personality of Sangiovese in an entirely new and surprising form. Duca di Saragnano is a multi-award winning Tuscan producer with a deep understanding of the varieties and terroirs of their region, and the Toscana Bianco is their most intriguing and original expression: a white Sangiovese of genuine charm and distinction. The 2024 is immediately appealing: orange blossom and quince on the nose, with a delicacy and aromatic precision that is entirely its own — floral, fresh, and completely captivating. On the palate it carries that same freshness and character through to a clean, lingering finish that is as elegant as it is unexpected. The wine that answers the question nobody thought to ask: what does Sangiovese taste like as a white? At £13.99, it is one of the most original and conversation-starting bottles in our range.
