The wine region of Rosso di Montepulciano
Tuscan DOC sister to Vino Nobile around Montepulciano (250-600 m), local Sangiovese "Prugnolo Gentile" (min. 70%) with Canaiolo and Mammolo. Fresh and approachable red: vibrant aromas of red cherry, raspberry, violet, plum, white pepper, wild herbs and mineral hint, lively acidity and fine tannins — young version of the great Nobile, short ageing (~4 months). Drink within 2-4 years, food-friendly and pleasurable.
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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
