The wine region of Brunello di Montalcino
Absolute Tuscan icon, Italy's first DOCG (1980). Pure Sangiovese Grosso ("Brunello"): powerful, sturdy reds with signature notes of ripe black cherry, plum, violet, leather, tobacco and undergrowth, firm tannins and great ageing (20-30 years). Minimum 5 years' ageing (6 for Riserva), of which 2 in oak. A noble style, a perfect match for red meats and truffles.
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.
