Tuscany

Tuscany is undoubtedly one of the most important Italian wine regions thanks to its famous internationally renowned labels. A true jewel of world enology, with an extraordinary variety of wines with different characteristics and a thousand-year history that is lost in the centuries.

The typical Tuscan landscape alone speaks volumes about the strong wine-growing vocation of the area: kilometers and kilometers of splendid rows of vines that stretch across the hills of Chianti and the Etruscan Coast or immersed in the postcard views of the Val d'Orcia and Val di Chiana.

This is a heritage of eleven controlled and guaranteed designations of origin (DOCG), forty-one controlled designations of origin (DOC) and six typical geographical indications (IGT).

One cannot talk about Tuscan winemaking – or even world winemaking – 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 DOCs. A red grape of great quality and character, but not easy to grow, which gives very different results depending on the microclimate and soil where it is grown.
