2 editor-picked estates growing Sangiovese in Eger.
Where to taste Sangiovese in Eger: the estates that grow it, how the region expresses the grape, and how to book a visit.
A five-hectare, four-plot family winery in Ostoros run by winemaker Tarnoczi Zoltan, producing additive-free wines from an unusually wide varietal range including Kadarka, Sangiovese and Ezerjo.
Tasting: Small-batch tastings by appointment; contact winemaker Tarnoczi Zoltan directly.
Signature wines: Abrakadabra, Kadarka
Tip: The range of grape varieties here is broader than almost any other small Eger cellar; ask what is pouring that week.
Rege Birtok sits away from the main Szepasszony-volgy cellar street on the Nagykoporos road, farming an unusually broad varietal range for an Eger estate that includes Viognier and Sangiovese alongside the region's staple Kekfrankos and Kadarka, and hosting both organised and informal tastings on its terrace.
Tip: The estate's terrace has panoramic views back toward Eger's castle, a quieter vantage point than the crowded viewpoints inside Szepasszony-volgy itself.
