The wine region of Candia dei Colli Apuani
Tuscan DOC (1981) on the foothills of the Apuan Alps bordering Liguria (Massa-Carrara), Mediterranean microclimate tempered by marble mountains and the sea. Vermentino is the signature white (>90% of plantings, ≥70% of Bianco): dry and taut with vivid notes of citrus, grapefruit, Mediterranean herbs, almond and a saline mineral touch, slightly bitter finish, cutting acidity. Albarola as complement. Fruity reds on Sangiovese, Massaretta and Ciliegiolo.
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.
