Discover the grape variety: Noual
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, supple palate with moderate acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, a witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and part of the heritage varieties under study. Rare French white variety, formerly grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Cortona
Tuscan DOC around the Etruscan city (Arezzo) above the Val di Chiana, mineral clay-limestone soils at >=250 m. Syrah signature red (introduced in the Napoleonic era): dense and structured with notes of blackberry, black cherry, pepper, violet, garrigue and a hint of liquorice, firm tannins and vibrant freshness — one of Italy's greatest Syrahs. Sangiovese and Merlot in blends, firm Cabernet, fruity Colorino. Trebbiano and Grechetto in whites.
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: Pulp
Fleshy and juicy part of the grape berry, it contains sugars, organic acids and various nitrogenous and mineral compounds.
