Tuscan DOC around the Etruscan city (Arezzo) above the Val di Chiana, mineral clay-limestone soils at >=250 m.

Sangiovese and Merlot in blends, firm Cabernet, fruity Colorino. Trebbiano and Grechetto in whites.
Discover the grape variety: Pinot noir
Elegant reds, light in colour with silky tannins, showing strawberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, evolving to forest floor, mushroom and spice with age. Fresh acidity, delicate finish. Star of the Côte d'Or (Romanée-Conti, Chambertin, Volnay), pillar of Champagne (Blanc de Noirs) and signature of Oregon, Central Otago and Sonoma Coast. An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.
