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: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
