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.
IGT of north-east Sardinia on the granite foothills of Monte Limbara (overlapping the DOCG Vermentino di Gallura), sandy draining soils, ventilated Mediterranean climate. Signature Vermentino: dry and straight with citrus, green apple, Mediterranean herbs, white flowers and saline mineral hints, typically bitter finish. Supple Cannonau (cherry, garrigue), dense Carignano and fruity Monica in reds. Nuragus and Vernaccia as local whites.
