Slightly obscure. Maybe enough to present at least a modicum of difficulty.

Or maybe not, knowing the calibre of the frequenters of this thread…

I sense Tuscan Reds, but Capricci confuses me.

 

[Matty01]

Warmer for sure

these are mostly Tuscan, all red, all…

DOCG?

DOCG?

No, there is a mix of doc, docg and igt here
Let me remove the ringer, Capricci
I’ll go back and remove that- and it should be clearer

 

[Charlemagne1333]

Sangiovese?

 

[Matty01]

Sangiovese?

Indeed, well played

 

[Charlemagne1333]

@Matty1

Just to clarify; Capricci Sangiovese is a blend. The others are a single grape wine. Is that why Capricci was removed?

I’ll drink a nice Chianti or a South-Eastern Australian Merlot, but I ain’t no wine buff.

chianti is typically a blend too, with at least 75% Sangiovese, (80% for Chianti Classico) but usually it will contain 10% canaiolo, sometimes Colorino, with other varietals allowed in the mix too…

all of the remaining clues were regions wherein the red wines must be a majority or in some instances 100% Sangiovese

Capricci, not being a region was a bit of a red herring, so I thought best to pull it

This’ll be an easy one (for somebody)!

I'll go for Guiseppe Verdi, composer of "The Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves".

Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves is also known as Va, pensiero.
