The wine region of Vin Santo del Chianti
Historic Tuscan DOC in artisanal passito method: signature blend of Trebbiano (chiseled acidity) and Malvasia (body, texture, perfume) as sweet white king — grapes dried on mats or hung in lofts, concentrating sugars and aromas, slow fermentation in caratelli (50-300 L). Aged ≥3 years in barrels ≤500 L, amber robe, signature robust concentrated profile with dried apricot, honey, candied fruit, walnut and spice notes, balanced freshness.
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: Thinning
Also known as green harvesting, the practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining bunches often gain weight.
