What might be the closest grape in taste to Sangiovese that is grown in
Chile or Argentina?

Any comments appreciated. Thanks.

The answer to your question is ... Sangiovese. ;-)

It's grown in both Chile and Argentina.

REALLY??? How wonderful.
Is it written as "Sangiovese" grape? or in another language/name for the
sangiovese grape?

What do you think about it in the price range of 12-18 USD, if you have
tried it.

Thanks!!!!!

Yes, as far as I know, although I don't know for sure. Both Chile and
Argentina normally use the "standard" European names for grapes on
their bottles.

Sorry, I've seen some occasionally, but if I've ever had one, I don't
remember it. I can't even remember any brand names.

You're welcome. Glad to help.

Just curious--why do you particularly want one from Chile or
Argentina, rather than Italy?

I do love Italian wines. But,
Lately I've been buying from a local wine store; I like their service. Many
of the wines I choose is from a certain importer. The importer has a large
choice, but only a few Italian Tuscan in the price range that I'm willing to
pay for most of the wine we purchase. So, I thought I'd try another part
of the world for more of a choice, both in cost and similar taste.

Thanks for your reply, Ken.

You have a couple of options for italian owned/influenced bodegas in
Argentina. I can't think of anything Chilean off the top of my head. Have
a look at Benegas Sangiovese.

For Amarone style a Malbec/corvina blend try and find Masi's venture in
Tupungato; Renacer also do a similar style ie dried rasiny loveliness; I
think it's rather pricey though.
