The wine region of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Tuscan DOCG (1980, one of Italy's first) around the medieval city of Montepulciano. Signature Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile, min. 70%): powerful, structured reds with signature notes of black cherry, plum, tobacco, leather, faded violet and a sweet-spice touch, firm tannins and long ageing — between Chianti's elegance and Brunello's power. Min.
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: Disgorging (champagne)
This is the evacuation of the deposit formed by the yeasts during the second fermentation in the bottle, by opening the bottle. The missing volume is completed with the liqueur de dosage - a mixture of wine and cane sugar - before the final cork is placed. For some years now, some producers have been replacing this sugar with rectified concentrated musts (concentrated grape juice) which give excellent results. A too recent dosage (less than three months) harms the gustatory harmony of the champagne.
