Firm, upright reds with precise acidity and angular tannins, showing aromas of sour cherry, plum, dried herbs, leather, black tea and balsamic notes. Characteristically bitter, savoury finish. Star of Chianti Classico DOCG, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG and Morellino di Scansano. Italy's most planted variety, a descendant of Ciliegiolo × Calabrese di Montenuovo.
Lazio DOC on the volcanic Colli Albani southeast of Rome (14 hilltop villages). Signature whites (min. 70% Malvasia di Candia, Malvasia del Lazio and Trebbiano): taut and mineral with notes of green apple, citrus, white flowers, almond and volcanic saline touch, fresh thirst-quenching palate — quintessential Roman thirst-quenchers. Soft reds Cesanese, Merlot, Montepulciano and Sangiovese (cherry, plum, herbs).
