The wine region of Maremma Toscana
Tuscan coast swept by Tyrrhenian winds, land of the "Super Tuscans". Dense, sunny reds with signature notes of ripe black cherry, blackberry, Mediterranean herbs, leather, tobacco and spice, round tannins and a warm palate. Sangiovese, king of Tuscany, magnified by the Bordeaux grapes: firm Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot, peppery Cabernet Franc, spicy Syrah, fruity Ciliegiolo. Saline Vermentino, ample Ansonica whites.
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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
