Fiorini is mostly Sangiovese (90%) with small amounts of Cabernet, Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo, aged in a combination of new and old barriques and tonneaux. Perfumed fruit of classic cherry and violets with berries and spice of cinnamon, cloves and pepper. The palate balances sweet and savoury notes with weight and substance, the fine grained tannins supporting a long finish.

About the region

Tuscany · Chianti

Tuscany, or Toscana, is Sangiovese country. The grape is high in acid and tannin, savoury rather than sweet-fruited, and it changes with altitude and soil: firm and red-fruited in the hills of Chianti Classico, broader and longer-lived at Montalcino where it becomes Brunello. On the coast at Bolgheri the rules loosen and Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot take over, and it is there that several of the wines once labelled Super Tuscan were made.
