Tuscany is one of Italy’s most important wine regions, located in central Italy between the Apennines and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its vineyards are shaped by hills, varied elevations, marine influence, and diverse soils, with Sangiovese serving as the defining grape across many of the region’s historic appellations.
The region is known for Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Bolgheri, and several other distinctive zones. Tuscany produces wines ranging from traditional Sangiovese-based reds to international-style blends, with its best examples marked by acidity, tannin, savory complexity, and a strong connection to place.
