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: Terroir
Strictly speaking, the notion of terroir corresponds to the geological characteristics of a vineyard. However, when we talk about terroir, we take into account the soil, the climate (even the microclimate), the flora, the fauna, and the human factor that characterizes the practices that make up the art of the craft.
