Sangiovese
Basics:	Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy used to produce Chianti and other Tuscan red wines.
Grower   Comments: (by County)	CALVERT: Seems to do well once it gets started. CARROLL: Did very well last year, not as much fruit as Cab Franc or Cab Sauv. CARROLL: Does well but does not color and mature unless the nights are cool late in the year CARROLL: Great Growth, awsome fruit, makes great light bodied wine, customers have been very pleased. Planting more this year. CECIL: One of my plantings has struggled with diseases & the other has problems ripening. I don't think the growing season is long enough. HARFORD: Needs lots of crop management and no hurricanes before harvest, but otherwise, are pleased with this variety. QUEEN ANNE'S: Grows well, avoid overcropping otherwise it will not mature.
Growing   Recommendations:	Likes to overcrop, but thinning must be correctly timed or remaining fruit will swell.
Winery   Considerations:	Late ripening red that produces wines with pronounced tannins and acidity. Character can vary from leather through to the essence of red cherries and plums. Sometimes made as a dry rose.
