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 IGT on the alpine foothills around Bergamo (67 ha). Signature dry reds: firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco) and supple Merlot (plum, cherry, chocolate) in single variety or blend, round tannins and structured palate. Rare Moscato Nero (Moscato di Scanzo) speciality — ultra-confidential sweet muscat red from the heights. Aromatic white Moscato as complement (rose, citrus, honey).
