The wine region of Chianti Colli Fiorentini
Tuscan DOCG around Florence (hills 150–400 m, Pliocene silty clays of the Elsa): Sangiovese as the signature red king, complemented by Canaiolo, Colorino and sometimes Merlot — ruby robe with garnet hints, intense nose of red fruits, violet and wild berries followed by spiced notes, rounded and balanced palate with fine tannins, bright and fresh finish. Charming young, capable of a decade's ageing, silky and indulgent.
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: Reims Mountain
Between Épernay and Reims, a large limestone massif with varied soils and exposure where pinot noir reigns supreme. Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzenay, Verzy, etc., are equivalent to the Burgundian Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée. There are also great Chardonnays, which are rarer (Mailly, Marmery, Trépail, Villers).
