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: Bâtonnage
A very old technique that has come back into fashion in modern oenology, which consists of shaking the white wine in the barrels at the end of fermentation, or after fermentation, with a stick or a flail, in order to suspend the fine lees composed of yeasts at the end of their activity. This process is sometimes used for red wines.
