Immerse yourself with us in the world of exceptional Tuscan wines
No discussion of Tuscan wines is complete without a mention of Chianti Classico. This wine is made mainly from Sangiovese grapes and is known for its structured elegance and fruity cherry flavour. Chianti Classico is an excellent accompaniment to pasta and meat dishes, as it goes perfectly with the rich and spicy flavours of Italian cuisine.
The Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione - Il Poggio has a dynamic and penetrating colour. On the nose, it exudes a strong and varied aroma dominated by distinct fruity notes. In the mouth, it is characterised by typically ripe and velvety tannins, complemented by a pronounced acidity and pronounced minerality, characteristics that are typical of Sangiovese grown on Galestro soil;
The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is somewhat lighter than the Brunello, but no less noble. It is also based on Sangiovese and is characterised by a feminine elegance and a bouquet of violets, red fruits and a hint of vanilla. It is the perfect wine for special occasions and transforms any table into a festive table;
The Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG - Madonna della Querce has an intense and dense ruby red colour. The nose is broad and enchanting. The varietal notes of ripe red fruit and jam stand out, accompanied by a spicy woody nuance that remains discreet. The harmony between nose and flavour is impeccable. In the mouth, it is ethereal, expansive and mineral, with well-structured, rich and elegant tannins. A closer look reveals a moderate alcohol content and an excellent level of acidity and extract. A wine that is characterised above all by its elegance and finesse;
Brunello di Montalcino occupies a prominent place in the ranking of Italian wines. It matures for at least five years before being released onto the market, developing its full and powerful flavour with notes of berries, plums, tobacco and leather. Brunello is an ideal accompaniment to red meat and game and is appreciated by wine lovers all over the world for its complexity.
The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva - San Polo is a deep ruby red colour with garnet reflections. Its aroma is reminiscent of wild berries such as blackberries, blackcurrants and blueberries, enriched with elements of liquorice, spices and strong balsamic notes. The tannins are clearly pronounced and the long finish is characterised by exceptional aromatic persistence. It is a wine of great density and structure that surprises the palate with its intensity, finesse and perfect balance;
Tuscany is not just a region for red wine lovers. With the Vernaccia di San Gimignano, it also offers a wonderful white wine. Vernaccia is the only DOCG white wine in the region and is characterised by its acidity, citrus aromas and mineral notes. It is an ideal accompaniment to fish dishes and a refreshing drop on a hot summer's day.
The Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG Riserva - L'Albereta has a straw-yellow colour with golden reflections. The nose is characterised by apricot aromas, which are harmoniously combined with balsamic notes thanks to the calibrated ageing in wood. On the palate, it has a rich structure supported by a dynamic, energising acidity. It is a wine that is suitable for long ageing.
These wines are just a small selection of what the world of Tuscan wine has to offer. A good Tuscan wine embodies the beauty of the landscape, the philosophy of the people and the heritage of an ancient winemaking tradition. Each bottle tells a story of attention to detail and passion for the craft and invites every connoisseur to become part of this story. Cheers
