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: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
