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.
Tuscan DOC (Arezzo, Siena) in the fertile eponymous valley between Cortona and Montepulciano.

Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah as complements. Trebbiano Toscano as lively white with flowers, green apple and citrus; Malvasia, Grechetto and Chardonnay in complement.
