Massaretta and Alicante Bouschet. Massaretta, also known as Barsaglina, is a rare grape, with only 30 hectares found between Pisa and the Colli di Luni. It's vigorous and finicky in the vineyard, very senstive to oidium. Its wine characterized by wild aromas, lots of freshness, combined with pronounced tannin and bitter notes. Reconteso ("recontested") is from a single vineyard of 0.4ha, average age of 50 years, where there is also some Alicante Bouschet, which nicely complements the more extreme tendencies of the Massaretta. Destemmed/crushed, macerated for 20 days. Aged at least 8 months in stainless steel and released later than the whites.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
