Tuscany

Tuscany is undoubtedly one of Italy's most important wine-growing regions thanks to its internationally renowned labels. It is a true jewel of world oenology, with an extraordinary variety of wines with different characteristics and a history stretching back thousands of years.

The typical Tuscan landscape alone recounts the area's strong wine-growing vocation: kilometres and kilometres of splendid rows of vines stretching across the hills of the Chianti and Costa degli Etruschi or immersed in the picture-postcard views of the Val d'Orcia and Val di Chiana.

This is a heritage of no less than eleven controlled and guaranteed designations of origin (DOCG), forty-one controlled designations of origin (DOC) and six typical geographical indications (IGT).

One cannot speak of Tuscan oenology - but not even of world oenology - without thinking of Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Chianti Classico and Supertuscans, produced in the Bolgheri area.

The undisputed soul of the region's red wines is Sangiovese, present in almost all DOC wines. A red grape of great quality and character, but not easy to grow, giving very different results depending on the microclimate and soil where it is cultivated.
