The wine region of Bolgheri
DOC of the Tuscan Maremma, historic cradle of the "Super Tuscans" (legendary Sassicaia). Signature Bordeaux blend: dominant Cabernet Sauvignon with hallmark notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, Mediterranean herbs, eucalyptus and a spice touch, firm tannins and noble structure. Round Merlot brings plum and velvet, Cabernet Franc the pepper, Petit Verdot the depth. Qualitative Syrah.
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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
