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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
