The Mediterranean climate is drier and hotter in this part of southern Tuscany, and allied with the limestone and sand soil helps to produce a grape capable of making a rich, dark, and concentrated red wine which is often heavier and more tannic than Chianti. As a result significant ageing is often required to develop the velvety texture, power and complexity that is characteristic of the great wines of this region. The Montalcino production zone can be broken down into a range of sub zones. Within each zone there are variations in altitude, soil composition, and weather patterns. In fact, the Consorzio Brunello di Montalcino lists more than 24 distinct microclimates in the area. Brunello di Montalcino was Italy's first wine to be accorded D.O.C.G. status in 1980 and is produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes.
