The wine region of Bolgheri Superiore
Tuscan coastal DOC (Tyrrhenian maritime microclimate, sun reflection off the sea, varied gravelly soils): Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc as signature Bordeaux-style reds (0–100% each), complemented by Syrah, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese — ripe and sweet dark fruits, balsamic Mediterranean scrub notes, tobacco and liquorice, rounded and supple palate, fresh acidity, silky and dense tannic texture, long generous finish, decade-long ageing.
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: Fruity
A wine whose nose is first characterized by aromas reminiscent of the world of fruit. A wine to be drunk young is essentially fruity, but all wines offer this type of aroma in the first place, which can evolve over time, from the scent of fresh fruit to cooked, stewed, candied or brandied fruit.
