The wine region of Vin Santo del Chianti Classico

Historic Tuscan DOC of the Chianti Classico (passito technique, grapes dried in loft for several months): signature Malvasia Bianca and Trebbiano Toscano as white kings (>=60%) — amber golden robe, rich intense nose of honey, roasted almond, vanilla, dried fruits (walnut, hazelnut), enveloping harmonious palate, sugar balanced by vibrant acidity, long finish. Slow fermentation in caratelli (small barrels), 3 years ageing including 24 months in caratelli.


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: Botrytis cinerea

This fungus, also called noble rot, develops during the over-ripening phase and is an ally of great sweet white wines, when it concentrates the juice of the berries. It requires the humidity of morning fogs and beautiful sunny days, gives musts very rich in sugar and brings to the wines the famous taste of "roasted".
