Details and technical informations about Winery Villa dei Tigli's Chianti.
Discover the grape variety: Humagne blanche
Structured, original whites with a golden robe, ample palate and fresh alpine acidity, showing aromas of yellow fruits (pear, quince), candied citrus, linden, honey, white flowers and mineral notes with a slightly bitter finish. Reputed tonic, once given to new mothers. Discreet star of the Valais hillsides (Sierre, Sion, Conthey). Autochthonous Valais variety, one of Switzerland's oldest (recorded since the 14th century), with no link to humagne rouge.

The wine region of Chianti
Emblem of Tuscan red: signature Sangiovese (70% min) with notes of morello cherry, plum, dried herbs, violet and leather, lively acidity and firm tannins, elegant gastronomic profile. Chianti Classico DOCG ("Gallo Nero") between Florence and Siena, more structured and age-worthy. Riserva and Gran Selezione at the top, barrel-aged. A few supporting grapes (Canaiolo, Colorino).
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: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
