Tuscany

Tuscany, one of Italy’s most famous regions, boasts 42 DOC areas and 9 DOCG areas. Its reputation, which grew with Chianti and Chianti Classico after Baron Ricasoli’s work, now extends with the help of the Sangiovese grape, to Brunello di Montalcino, Vin Nobile di Montepulciano and many other Super Tuscans in red. Plus, via the white Vernaccia grape, the Vernaccia di San Gimignano stands out, as do the Vino Santos, that delicious sweet, special dessert wine. A region with legendary wines and plenty to explore.
