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 of the Roman coast north-west of Rome (Etruscan Cerveteri), volcanic and sandy terroirs bathed by the Tyrrhenian Sea. Trebbiano Toscano (Procanico, ≥50%) and Malvasia are the signature whites — lively and fresh with white flowers, green apple, citrus and a saline-iodine touch, brilliant acidity. Sangiovese and Montepulciano (≥60%) for fleshy reds with red fruits, cherry, plum and a spiced touch. Cesanese as complement.
