About Montecucco area
(beautiful landscapes...)
The road of the Montecucco wine covers a wide area to lean there of the Amiata Mountain which which has its center in Cinigiano. Montecucco is the council which joins the Maremma and the Amiata.
This little-known area strikes the visitor as a kind of enchanted garden, with endless discoveries to be made - a different Tuscany, the real one, in which tradition and innovation are combined.
It is an unspoilt landscape whose natural dignity and resources have been respected, especially in more recent wine-growing. Numerous holiday farmhouses, traditional trattorie, and extensive wildlife make this area very rewarding from the hunting and culinary point of view.

 

The wine estate of "Perazzeta" in Montenero have a ideal climate. Amiata mount to the south, diverts the torrid winds of Africa and the summer extremes of climate. The Apennines in the north protect the wine estate from unpredictable winter winds. The wine estate is also near to the Mediterranean Sea. The combined result is a unique microclimate producing warm days, plenty of the sun's nourishing rays, cool nights and just enough moisture to nurture a rugged, calcified soil strangely ideal for the cultivation of wines. Only 2 km air-line distance away you can find the wide exstensions of vinestocks of Brunello di Montalcino, one of the most renowned wines of Tuscany. The Perazzeta vineyards are situated on sunny and windy areas on an average height of 350 meters above s.l. The vinestocks are grown on spurred cordons on a tuff-stone soil and up to 90% of the production of red wine are composed by Sangiovese grapes, whils for the production of the white wines mainly up to 90% is Trebbiano and Chardonnay, with a 10 % of Malvasia grapes cultivated.

 Region information ...   
Florence's region continues to advance its position as the nation's most dynamic producer of premium wines, following decades of turning out popular Chianti in straw-covered flasks. Tuscany's modern renaissance in wine began in Chianti, in the central hills around Siena and Florence, but it rapidly spread to take in the strip along the Mediterranean coast that was not previously noted for vineyards.

Much of the progress has come with classical reds based on the native Sangiovese vine, Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Carmignano, all DOCG. But growing success with other reds (especially the stylish non-DOC wines known as "Super Tuscans") has been augmented by new styles of whites to enhance the region's reputation.
