The wine region of Montescudaio
Tuscan DOC (1977) in the province of Pisa, hills near the Tyrrhenian coast (Casale Marittimo, Riparbella, Guardistallo). Sangiovese is the red king (≥50% of the Rosso): garnet ruby with ample cherry, plum, Mediterranean herbs and a marine touch, balanced tannins. Bordeaux Cabernet and Merlot as fleshy single varietals. Trebbiano and Vermentino give bright whites with citrus, white flowers and a saline note.
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: Mou
Said of a wine unbalanced by its lack of acidity.
