Discover the grape variety: Corinto Nero

Small, intensely coloured seedless grapes, mainly destined for raisin production. More rarely vinified into confidential sweet and liqueur wines from the Aeolian Islands, with a dark colour, luscious palate and aromas of candied black fruit, raisins and spices. Grown in the Cyclades (island of Lipari) and southern Italy. A seedless mutation of the Corinth raisin, an ancient Greek black variety.

The wine region of Vin Santo del Chianti

Historic Tuscan DOC in artisanal passito method: signature blend of Trebbiano (chiseled acidity) and Malvasia (body, texture, perfume) as sweet white king — grapes dried on mats or hung in lofts, concentrating sugars and aromas, slow fermentation in caratelli (50-300 L). Aged ≥3 years in barrels ≤500 L, amber robe, signature robust concentrated profile with dried apricot, honey, candied fruit, walnut and spice notes, balanced freshness.


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.
