The wine region of Orcia
DOC of the Val d'Orcia in Tuscany (UNESCO landscape between Pienza, San Quirico and Montalcino), clay-limestone soils, Mediterranean-continental climate. Sangiovese is the signature red (≥60% in Rosso, ≥90% as varietal): fruity and elegant with red cherry, raspberry, plum, violet, herbs and spice, fine tannins and lively acidity — an accessible alternative to neighbouring Brunello. Colorino, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Foglia Tonda in blends. Fresh rosés from the same Sangiovese.
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: Powdery mildew
Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Less dreadful than mildew, it only attacks the surface of the green parts. Sulphur has long been the best remedy.
