The wine region of Bolgheri Superiore
Tuscan coastal DOC (Tyrrhenian maritime microclimate, sun reflection off the sea, varied gravelly soils): Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc as signature Bordeaux-style reds (0–100% each), complemented by Syrah, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese — ripe and sweet dark fruits, balsamic Mediterranean scrub notes, tobacco and liquorice, rounded and supple palate, fresh acidity, silky and dense tannic texture, long generous finish, decade-long ageing.
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: Aging on lees
Maturing on the lees enhances the stability, aromatic complexity and texture of white wines, which gain in body and volume. This phenomenon is induced by autolysis, the process of self-degradation of the lees.
