The wine region of Montecarlo
Tuscan DOC (1969) on hills north-east of Lucca between the Apennines and Mediterranean, varied soils, temperate climate. Original Bianco blending Trebbiano (40-60%) with Sémillon, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Vermentino, Sauvignon and Roussanne: dry and delicate with citrus, white flowers, apple and mineral hints, fine balance — rare international blend in Tuscany. Sangiovese-led Rosso (50-75%) with Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Cabernet: bright ruby, fruity and sapid.
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: Viscosity
Consistency of wine reminiscent of the tactile sensation of sugar syrup with varying degrees of fluidity, due to the alcohol and natural sugar in the grapes present in sweet wines. In excess, this sensation can make the wine pasty and heavy. To the eye, viscosity is referred to as tears.
