In the isolated hills of Montalcino, Sangiovese ripens more and better than elsewhere in Tuscany, giving wines with more color, body, extract, tannin, and richness than other wines based on the same variety.
This video shows Giacomo Bindi the owner and winemaker of Il Cocco winery who explains how Sangiovese grows.
During a tour with ITALY AND WINE you will have the opportunity to meet the owner of the winery who will be proud to explain the wine making process and will lead a wine tasting of Brunello DOCG and Rosso di Montalcino DOC wines.
