Very intensely coloured and structured reds with a near-black deep ruby colour, slightly teinturier pulp, firm tannins and dense palate, with signature aromas of black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant), plum, spices and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Often blended with Sangiovese in Chianti to reinforce colour and structure, featuring in great Tuscan reds. An indigenous Italian black variety from Tuscany (Arno valley).
