Tuscany

Tuscany, in central Italy, is one of the world’s most famous wine regions, known for rolling hills and historic vineyards. Its flagship grape is Sangiovese, which stars in iconic wines like Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The region also produces Super Tuscans, modern blends that often include international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. White wines from Tuscany, such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano, offer crisp, floral styles, though reds dominate production. Tuscany’s diverse soils and climate create wines with vibrant acidity, ripe fruit, and earthy, herbal notes. These wines pair beautifully with Tuscan cuisine like grilled meats, pasta with ragu, and aged cheeses.
