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: Passerillage
Concentration of the grape by drying out, under the influence of wind or sun, as opposed to botrytisation, which is the concentration obtained by the development of the "noble rot" for which Botrytis cinerea is responsible. The word is mainly used for sweet wines.
