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.
Sub-region of Canelones (Uruguay) north of Montevideo (around Juanicó), world capital of Tannat, more densely planted here than in its native Madiran. Tannat is the signature red: intense and structured with blackberry, black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco, spices and a balsamic touch, powerful tannins and vibrant acidity, capable of very long ageing. Supple Merlot and firm Cabernet Sauvignon complement. Estates: Pisano, Viña Progreso, Bouza.
