Velvety, deep reds with a dark robe and round tannins, showing aromas of blackberry, plum, ripe red pepper, dark chocolate, coffee and gentle spice. Warm, supple finish. Absolute star of Chile (Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maipo) where it was rediscovered in 1994, long confused with Merlot. A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.
Tuscan coastal DOCG in Maremma (Grosseto province), Sangiovese signature (min. 85%, called Morellino) on clay-limestone soils. Signature fruity accessible reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, Mediterranean herbs and spice touch, round tannins and sunny mouth — maritime supple version of Sangiovese, to drink young. Warmer than Chianti thanks to coastal climate.
