Tuscany

Our wines from Tuscany!

Yet in the seventh century B.C. the Etruscans produced and sold wine in today's Toscana.

In the Toscana the wine production faced comprehensive changes during the last years. Even the traditional wines Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano or Brunello di Montalcino went through tremendous changes.

Chianti
 

The range of Chianti types varies from cheap and usual wine up to great wines which need many years to fully develop. The usual Chianti, also known as Annata, is allowed to be sold as of march 1st in the year following the harvest, whereas the Riserva has to maturate for three years in wood barrels.

 

The typical Chianti Cuveé consists of the following grapes:
• 75 to 90% Sangiovese
• 5 to 10% Canaiolo
• 5 to 10% (Chianti Classico 2 to 5%) Malvasia and Trebbiano (both white)
• 10% other grapes, e.g. Cabernet Sauvignon

Nowadays there are seven Chianti DOC regions: Chianti Classico, Chianti Montalbano, Chianti Colli Fiorentini, Chianti Rufina, Colli Senesi, Colline Pisane and Colli Aretini.


Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
 

The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is together with the Brunello di Montalcino the most important wine in the Toscana.

The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano has a long history.

The combination of the grapes is similiar to the Chianti, but the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is not allowed to be sold until two years after harvest, the Riserva needs three years to maturate.

Brunello di Montalcino

 

The Brunello die Montalcino is quite a young wine - just 100 years old. Ferruccio Biondi-Santi, who then did not want to settle for the Chianti produced in Montalcino, invented the Brunello di Montalcino in the 19th century. He tried to create a new and independent wine from his best Sangiovese-grapes. The result was an outstanding long-living, muscular wine requiring a long storage time. Not until the sixties there are other producers for Brunello than Biondi-Santi.

The Brunello is deep and dark with a strong body, very well structured, tart with a slight bitter note, well-proportioned acid and adequate tannin.
It is the only red wine in the Toscana being produced of one sole grape, the Sangiovese Grosso grape, a local clone of Sangiovese.

Morellino di Scansano
 

Another outstanding wine from the Toscana is the Morellino di Scansano with own DOC. Basis of the Morellino is a special clone of the Sangiovese grape. We recommend a.o. those of Fattoria Le Pupille.
