Default Sangiovese grape not good this year??

I make wine with two different groups. Both groups are making sagiovese
this year. Both batches of sagiovese grapes are very week. I hope I can
explain it. Sugar was low in one group. about 20.5. the other group,
sugar was ok 22.
In both groups, the grape (taste) was light, not very flavorful. During
the primary, the skins are pink / pale. Not dark red. The juice is light
almost rose, and does not have a very good taste. Very little fruit taste.
Grapes came from two different distributors. What could be causing this.

All the others look and smell fantastic. (Cab, Gammy, Zin, & Merlot)

Any ideas? Anyone else doing sangiovese?
