The wine region of Rosso di Montepulciano
Tuscan DOC sister to Vino Nobile around Montepulciano (250-600 m), local Sangiovese "Prugnolo Gentile" (min. 70%) with Canaiolo and Mammolo. Fresh and approachable red: vibrant aromas of red cherry, raspberry, violet, plum, white pepper, wild herbs and mineral hint, lively acidity and fine tannins — young version of the great Nobile, short ageing (~4 months). Drink within 2-4 years, food-friendly and pleasurable.
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: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
