Hosted by sommelier, wine educator, and storyteller Lauren Crim, the show blends wine, travel, culture, humor, and conversation to explore the people, places, and experiences behind every sip. Lauren is passionate about making wine approachable, transforming technical wine concepts into engaging, relatable stories that are easy to understand and impossible to forget.

Whether she's exploring a grape variety, interviewing industry leaders, or uncovering the history of a wine region, her goal is simple: make wine less intimidating, more memorable, and a lot more fun.
Because great wine isn't just what's in the glass—it's the people, places, stories, and experiences that turn moments into memories.

Sangiovese: The Soul of Tuscany
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Join Wine Pros on the Go as we hop on an imaginary Vespa and head straight for the rolling hills of Tuscany to meet one of the wine world's greatest characters: Sangiovese.
This isn't just a grape. It's the heartbeat of Italy.
Sangiovese is the force behind Chianti, the soul of Brunello di Montalcino, the backbone of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and the reason countless trattorias around the world smell like tomato sauce, grilled steak, and happiness.
For centuries, this grape has thrived among Tuscany's sun-drenched hills, surviving wars, political upheaval, changing fashions, and every wine trend imaginable. While flashier varieties have come and gone, Sangiovese has remained exactly what it has always been: unapologetically Italian.
In this episode, we'll uncover the fascinating history of Sangiovese, explore the vineyards and soils that bring it to life, and discover why no grape captures a sense of place quite like this one. Along the way, we'll dive into Tuscany's most iconic wine regions, decoding Chianti, Brunello, Rosso di Montalcino, and beyond.
We'll also cover serving temperatures, decanting, glassware, cellaring potential, classic aromas and flavor profiles, tasting techniques, food-pairing magic, and the surprising reasons sommeliers continue to fall in love with this grape year after year.
Expect stories, history, travel, laughter, and enough Tuscan charm to have you pricing flights to Florence before the episode is over.
Pour a glass, grab a seat at the table, and discover why Sangiovese remains one of wine's greatest storytellers.
