The wine region of Vin Santo del Chianti
Historic Tuscan DOC in artisanal passito method: signature blend of Trebbiano (chiseled acidity) and Malvasia (body, texture, perfume) as sweet white king — grapes dried on mats or hung in lofts, concentrating sugars and aromas, slow fermentation in caratelli (50-300 L). Aged ≥3 years in barrels ≤500 L, amber robe, signature robust concentrated profile with dried apricot, honey, candied fruit, walnut and spice notes, balanced freshness.
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: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
