Knowing where your wine came from is important. The same grape can taste very different if it was vinted by a winery in Abruzzo, Italy or in Saint-Émilion, France.
Every variable like growth environment and temperature, the type of oak being used to age the wine or differences in pressing and fermentation can all mean significant changes to what you'll find in the bottle.

For instance, what if you don't like the particular Sangiovese you just had, you can look up the winery and understand their production methods and experience in producing this grape - which is known as the king of grapes. Then you can find out what other wineries do differently.
Maybe try one that's aged in a different barrel or that spent more or less time with the grape skins after juicing. Of course it's still possible you won't like Sangiovese after all that, but it's entirely possible you'll find something amazing!
That's ultimately what makes wine amazing - it's an adventure. Why not start here...
