Alexia without agraphia is a condition where a person can read but cannot write due to a lesion in the left side of the brain involving the angular gyrus area. This matches the symptoms described in the scenario, where Sangiovese can still read but has lost the ability to write. Prosopagnosia is a condition where a person cannot recognize faces, apraxia refers to difficulty in performing purposeful movements, and aprosodia is a condition where a person has difficulty conveying or interpreting emotional content in speech. None of these conditions match the symptoms described in the scenario.
