The wine region of Rosso di Montalcino
More accessible little brother of Tuscan Brunello, 100% Sangiovese on the same soils but shorter ageing (~12 months min. ). Signature fruity and silky reds with notes of red cherry, raspberry, plum, violet, Mediterranean herbs and spice touch, fine tannins and indulgent mouth — the soul of Montalcino without the wait. Youthful straight style, pleasure on release.
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: Water stress
Lack of water. Water stress blocks the vegetative cycle of the vine, which uses all available resources to maintain the integrity of the plant, thus blocking the ripening process of the grapes.
