Sangiovese is Italy’s most‑planted red grape – the star of Tuscany’s chianti wines – but this version is grown and made in Franschhoek, bringing Italian flair to South African soil.
Our pick this week:
Terra Del Capo Sangiovese
R129.99, Woolworths
Why we love it:
Terra Del Capo Sangiovese, made exclusively for Woolworths, brings a little Italian drama to your glass. Named after the “blood of Jupiter” (dramatic much?), this red is all smoky edges, earthy depth and ripe fruit richness. Perfect alongside antipasti, tapas or anything meaty, but not too heavy.
