Wine regions
Brunello di Montalcino
Brunello is the name of the local Sangiovese variety that is grown around the village of Montalcino. Located south of the Chianti Classico zone, the Montalcino range is drier and warmer than Chianti. Brunellos are characterized by rich aromatics and generous, ripe fruit, with excellent structure and fine, elegant tannins.
Chianti
Located in the central region of Tuscany, the Chianti zone is Tuscany's largest classified wine region and produces over eight million cases a year. The typical Sangiovese flavor profile tends toward and expression of red cherries, tobacco, underbrush, and grilled herbs.
Bolgheri
The DOC Bolgheri region is home to one of the original Super Tuscan wines Sassicaia, first made in 1944 produced by the marchesi Incisa della Rochetta, cousin of the Antinori family.
