Sant'Appiano
Sant'Appiano sits in Toscana, the heart of central Italy's wine country. The winery focuses on Sangiovese, the region's defining grape—a variety prized for its structure, acidity, and ability to age. The portfolio centers on three expressions: Monteloro Rosso, a pure Sangiovese that has drawn attention from Wine Spectator; Divinum Vin Santo del Chianti, a sweet wine made from the same varietal; and Cottaccio Chianti Superiore, which adheres to the region's classification standards. Each wine reflects Sangiovese's characteristic earthy minerality and tannin framework, hallmarks of Tuscan viticulture. The lineup demonstrates the grape's range across dry and fortified styles, anchoring the winery's work in Chianti's established tradition of single-varietal expression.
