The wine region of Chianti Rùfina
Tuscan DOCG northeast of Florence (Tuscan-Romagnan Apennines, altitude, rocky and clayey limestone soils): signature Sangiovese as red king (>=70%) — garnet robe, perfumed and mineral aromas with tart fruits, slightly tannic sensation, elegance, structure and acidity forged by continental altitude climate. Savory and energetic notes, chiseled and nervous expression, more penetrating and taut than other Chianti. Water-retaining clay, worthy of ageing.
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: Tanin
A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
