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.
Lombard IGP on the glacial-moraine hills south of Lake Garda (Mantua), with a balanced climate between the warm Po plain and the alpine freshness of the lake. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Rondinella lead in reds — fruity and supple with cherry, plum, red berries, herbs and a hint of gentle spices, rounded tannins and a direct, approachable style. Chardonnay, Garganega, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio in fresh whites.
