It seems that the Sangiovese was already known to the Etruscans and has spread in Central and followed the trade routes. Another myth has it that the name derives from sanguis Jovis , the blood of Jove , a name given from one capuchin friar of the monastery in the town of Sant’Arcangelo di Romagna , near Mount Jupiter, during a banquet in honor of Pope Leo XII, who asked as it was called the delicious nectar that the friars had served .

The latest ampelographic discoveries made by Vouillamoz confirm that Ciliegiolo and Calabrese Montenuovo are parents of Sangiovese.
