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.
Venetian DOC around Venice, heart of the "Tre Venezie" concept and the delle Venezie zone (>23,000 ha).

Also sparkling Glera (Prosecco base), mineral Garganega, local Tocai Friulano. Reds: round Merlot (plum, cherry), peppery Cabernet Franc, spicy native Refosco.
