It’s taking one step back in order to go two steps forward. A return to agricultural origins that clearly defines the present and realistically imagines the future. It’s the desire to stand out with wines that spontaneously express their reason for being —beyond statutes and production regulations— based on the foundational principles of the entire project: health, ethics, every day.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoing back to wine as something able to reflect places, arouse feelings, heat up relationships.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eThe Region: Tuscany\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuscany, \u003cem\u003eToscana\u003c\/em\u003e in Italian, even more so than Piedmont, is the Italian region that has become a synonym with Italian wine worldwide. Its signature rolling hills, cypress trees, winding country roads, and medieval hilltop hamlets have been glamorized by countless films, TV shows, and publications, making Tuscany one of the most famous wine regions in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuscany is situated in central Italy, delimitated to the west by the Tyrrhenian Sea and to the east by the Apennine Mountains – more specifically the Appennino Tosco-emiliano. It borders with Liguria and Emilia-Romagna (north), Umbria and Marche (east), and with Lazio (south). The capital of Tuscany is Florence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d1485419.9355504643!2d9.907786787984298!3d43.351700768643916!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x12d42b531080347b%3A0xbac6c3ba5b2059ab!2sTuscany%2C+Italy!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1531506441353\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" style=\"border: 0;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Terroir of Tuscany\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Tuscany, there are several microclimates which contribute to different terroirs. This is particularly evident if we look at the different styles of Sangiovese: cooler areas Sangiovese such as in Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino to, and warmer area Morellino di Scansano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally speaking, the climate varies from temperate and generally warm on the coast to cooler, with significant temperature variations between day and night inland, getting progressively warmer as we move south.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Red Wines of Tuscany\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuscany is home of the most widely planted red grape varietal in Italy, Sangiovese, which is present in a variety of clones with different names based on location. Classic Tuscan red wines Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and Morellino di Scansano are made respectively with Sangiovese Grosso or Brunello, Prugnolo Gentile, Morellino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChianti is also made with Sangiovese, grown all over the Chianti region, traditionally blended with indigenous red grapes Colorino and Canaiolo – although in recent years Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have also been used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coastal area around the town of Bolgheri, and more recently the southwestern area called Maremma Toscana, is where Super Tuscans find their home. Super Tuscan wines are blends including non-indigenous varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petite Verdot, and Syrah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese French grape varietals are often blended with local Sangiovese, but we also have several examples of non-blended Super Tuscans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe White Wines of Tuscany\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Tuscany we can also find great examples of white wines, Vernaccia di San Giminiano being the most characteristic, and sweet wines – Vin Santo, Aleatico Passito dell’Elba.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrebbiano Toscano is the most widely planted white grape varietal but in recent years we have seen an increase in popularity of Vermentino and in some areas Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Do.t.e","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42312964473048,"sku":"DOTEOKOK20C","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/dote-okok-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780185031","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/ok-ok-do-t-e-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
