The wine region of Cortona
Tuscan DOC around the Etruscan city (Arezzo) above the Val di Chiana, mineral clay-limestone soils at >=250 m. Syrah signature red (introduced in the Napoleonic era): dense and structured with notes of blackberry, black cherry, pepper, violet, garrigue and a hint of liquorice, firm tannins and vibrant freshness — one of Italy's greatest Syrahs. Sangiovese and Merlot in blends, firm Cabernet, fruity Colorino. Trebbiano and Grechetto in whites.
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: Dosage
The addition of sugar in the form of expedition liquor to a sparkling wine after disgorgement.
