About Tuscany

Tuscany is Italy's most famous wine region, a landscape of Renaissance beauty and wine tradition. Sangiovese is king here, producing the cherry-scented wines of Chianti, the powerful Brunello di Montalcino, and the elegant Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The Super Tuscan movement, which introduced international varieties, has added another dimension. From simple Chianti to collectible Brunello, Tuscany offers wines for every occasion and budget.
