Colline Lucchesi
See Colline Lucchesi producers See a list of Colline Lucchesi wines
Colline Lucchesi is a little-known, up-and-coming wine DOC region in Tuscany overlooking the celebrated city of Lucca with its vineyards nestled in the foothills of the Apennine mountains. Heavenly sites and fine limestone/sandstone soils have provided excellent conditions for viticulture here ever since Lucca owed its allegiance to France (during the early 19th century when it was governed by Napoleon's sister Elisa).
Consequently, and unsurprisingly, French varietals, esp. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, regularly feature in its wines, as well as Sangiovesse. The dry Bianco is a blend made from Trebbiano Toscano (45-70%), any combination of Grechetto, Malvasia del Chianti and Vermentino (up to 45%), Chardonnay and/or Sauvignon (up to 30%), as well as from other permitted white varieties (up to 15%).

This is very much an open-hearted wine with notes of tapenade, wild thyme and generous thickskinned black fruit aromas. Velvety and smooth, there is a generous helping of black cherry fruit on the palate which is followed by a cleansing, racy acidity. David Berry Green, BBR Buyer, ... MORE |

Talk about trying to get blood out of a stone! Ever since tasting this rich minerally white pearl of a wine years ago my friends had clung onto it like a newborn child. Finally I managed to persuade them that Berrys would look after and find it a good home. For me it captures the ... MORE |

In 2008 this blend of 60% Sangiovese, 20% Syrah and 20% Merlot was unusually concentrated. This has imparted a black peppery fruit character to the nose while the palate resounds more to blueberry, along with a cool streak of minerality. Fresh, fluid and fine this is a wine that should be left ... MORE |

...and so it follows that this, the flagship Tenuta di Valgiano wine must be the aristocratic face of the property. One sniff says it all: a sublime, seductive persistence held aloft by quivering (biodynamic) acidity. The blend of old vine Sangiovese (60%) and Merlot/Syrah (40%) displays a ... MORE |
