The wine region of Montecucco
Tuscan DOC south-west between Maremma and Monte Amiata (Grosseto/Siena), neighbour of Brunello. Sangiovese the red signature (min. 85% in DOCG): structured and elegant with black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, undergrowth, maquis herbs, tobacco and spiced note, fine tannins and dense palate — between Montalcino finesse and Morellino power. Also supple Ciliegiolo (cherry, raspberry), broad Vermentino and fresh Trebbiano.
The wine region of Tuscany
Kingdom of Sangiovese: upright reds with cherry, plum, dried herbs and leather, lively acidity and firm tannins. Fleshy, food-friendly Chianti Classico DOCG, deep long-ageing Brunello di Montalcino (spice, tobacco, ripe black fruit), elegant Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. On the coast, Bolgheri crafts the opulent Cabernet- and Merlot-based 'Super Tuscans'. Some fresh white Vernaccia.
The word of the wine: Pinot meunier
Cultivated in the 19th century in all the northern vineyards, this black grape variety has largely regressed since. Very present in the Marne valley, it constitutes a third of the vineyards in Champagne, alongside pinot noir and chardonnay with which it is often blended. It brings roundness and red and yellow fruit aromas to champagnes. Pinot meunier is also the dominant grape variety in red and rosé wines in the Orleans AOC and the rare Touraine-Noble-Joué, a grey wine. Syn.: meunier.
