A great Supertucsan, a Bordeaux blend, certainly one of the most important wines produced by the Castello di Querceto company, Il Cignale stands out for its characteristic and original organoleptic profile at the same time; it is certainly the best known of the François family business, produced for the first time with the 1986 vintage. It comes from a 4-hectare vineyard planted in 1981 at an altitude between 490 and 520 meters, with a density of five thousand vines per hectare and after a maturation of about 2 years in French oak barriques, plus a further refinement of over 6 months. The base is Cabernet Sauvignon (80-90%) accompanied by Merlot. Cignale (Tuscan dialect expression to indicate the wild boar, an animal depicted in several versions on the labels), like all the wines of Castello di Querceto , has the characteristic of longevity. In the family cellar, among the shelves rest dusty bottles of Chianti Classico from 1909, 1911, 1916, and among these, five examples of the historic 1904 vintage are still on display. Wines over 20 years old, incredibly rich in color and with perfumes and aromas still young, well balanced between the fruit and the never invasive wood. Another characteristic of Cignale is that beyond the origin of the blend, what "brands" the wine is above all the territory. In a "blind" tasting with other wines, even those based on Sangiovese, it is not uncommon (especially with older vintages) to have doubts whether it is a product originating from local grapes, such as Sangiovese, or international ones, as in this case Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Why is Tuscany famous for its wine?

Tuscany has a mild climate and rich, fertile soil, making it one of Italy's most suitable regions for wine production.

The region also has a rich tradition of white wines, such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Vermentino, and Trebbiano.

How to choose the right Tuscan wine?

When choosing a Tuscan wine, the first thing to consider is your personal taste. If you prefer sweet, fruity wines, a white wine like Vernaccia di San Gimignano or Vermentino is the right choice. If you prefer more robust, structured wines, then a red wine like Chianti or Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is better.

Furthermore, it's also important to consider the vintage of the wine you're purchasing. Wine quality depends on the climatic conditions during the period in which the grapes were grown, so before purchasing a bottle, it's a good idea to ask the producer about the vintage.

Where to find Tuscan wines?

Tuscan wines are readily available in supermarkets and specialty shops, but to savor the finest, highest-quality wines, you can also visit a winery. Tuscany boasts numerous wineries that organize guided tours and tastings to showcase their wines. Visiting one is a truly unique experience, as you have the opportunity to learn firsthand how wine is made and taste the different varietals.
