The wine region of Chianti Montespertoli
The most recent DOCG sub-zone of Chianti (1997), centred on Montespertoli in Tuscany, with limestone-rich fossiliferous soils and well-exposed slopes that preserve freshness. Sangiovese is king (≥70%): balanced and lush, with ripe cherries, plums, earthy notes and measured tannins shaped by limestone. Canaiolo, Colorino, Malvasia Toscana and Trebbiano round out the native palette.
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.
