Discover the grape variety: Gamay de Bouze

Intensely coloured and simple reds with an opaque purple colour, supple tannins and a light palate with moderate acidity, with discreet aromas of red fruits. A teinturier profile. Once used to intensify the colour of Burgundy blends, now marginal, it survives in a few Burgundy plots and ampelographic collections for its heritage value. Teinturier variation of Gamay obtained in the village of Bouze-lès-Beaune in Burgundy.

The wine region of Vin Santo del Chianti Classico

Historic Tuscan DOC of the Chianti Classico (passito technique, grapes dried in loft for several months): signature Malvasia Bianca and Trebbiano Toscano as white kings (>=60%) — amber golden robe, rich intense nose of honey, roasted almond, vanilla, dried fruits (walnut, hazelnut), enveloping harmonious palate, sugar balanced by vibrant acidity, long finish. Slow fermentation in caratelli (small barrels), 3 years ageing including 24 months in caratelli.


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: Broker

In the past, he was a sort of fraud control agent who had to watch over the quality of merchant wines (he could carry a sword!). His function has evolved towards expertise (it was the brokers who established the famous 1855 classification in Bordeaux) and today he puts the producer in contact with the merchant.
