I'm considering getting an MM bucket of frozen Sangiovese must and blending it with either a Merlot or Cab juice kit. (I'm still not certain because I do love the earthiness of straight Sangiovese.) It would be a sort of Chianti, but not really since I don't have access to any Canaiolo grapes or juice. I know that standard Chianti has around 75% Sangiovese. Has anyone tried a Sangiovese/Merlot or Cab blend successfully and what ratios did you use? Also, I'm torn on whether to ferment the blend together or individually. Suggestions?
Happy New Year.
