Tuscany

Italy. Tuscany is in central Italy and is one of the country’s most iconic wine regions, known for its rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and historic estates producing world-renowned wines. At the heart of Tuscan wine is Sangiovese, the grape behind Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, offering wines with bright acidity, firm tannins, and notes of cherry, earth, and herbs. The region is also home to Super Tuscans—innovative blends that often include international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, challenging tradition and gaining global acclaim. Tuscany’s varied terroirs, from coastal Bolgheri to high-elevation Montalcino, allow for both classic and modern styles to thrive.
