D3: Italy Central South Background: ITALY: Monty Waldin on Central Tuscany Part 1
Winemaker and writer Monty Waldin is regional chair for Tuscany for Decanter World Wine Awards. In this interview we talk about some of the different regions of central Italy. Its a tricky region to get your head around but easy to remember that almost all reds will be Sangiovese based. Monty takes us around some of the regions and we focus in on Chianti in Tuscany - Classico is the historic centre of the regions and produces the best quality wines, but there are smaller Chianti regions to try. We also talk about the common use of French grapes in Tuscan wines and the region where Monty is based, Brunello di Montalcino, where the wines must be 100% Sangiovese.
I thought the questions were excellent, an extremely valuable revision tool. They really helped highlight areas I thought I had revised and understood but clearly had not, which has enabled me to focus on key areas to revisit and study before going into the exam... I think it is a great resource and an essential revision aid for any WSET 3 students wishing to gain a competitive edge and successfully pass the WSET 3 exam.
