The wine region of Chianti Classico
Historic heart of Tuscan Chianti: signature Sangiovese as red king (≥80%) — ruby with garnet glints, elegant and complex with notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, plum, violet, leather and a balsamic touch with ageing, silky tannins and a saline mineral finish. Canaiolo, Colorino or Cabernet/Merlot possible as complements. Riserva and Gran Selezione at the summit. DOCG between Florence and Siena, galestro and alberese soils, continental climate — racy, age-worthy wines.
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: Oxidative (breeding)
A method of ageing which aims to give the wine certain aromas of evolution (dried fruit, bitter orange, coffee, rancio, etc.) by exposing it to the air; it is then matured either in barrels, demi-muids or unoaked casks, sometimes stored in the open air, or in barrels exposed to the sun and to temperature variations. This type of maturation characterizes certain natural sweet wines, ports and other liqueur wines.
