Of all of Italy’s 20 regions, Tuscany is probably the most famous. The landscape of Tuscany has been described countless times but it is still just as enchantingly beautiful, with vineyards on rolling hills, cypresses and impressive old private palaces.
Tuscany is mountainous and vines are grown at an altitude of up to 600 meters. We visit Chianti, Chianti Classico (two different districts actually) and Brunello di Montalcino, have lunch at the producers’ and enjoy the wines, which are mainly red, made from the characterful sangiovese.
Tuscan wines have exactly that acidity, the slight austerity and elegance that make them perfect food wines. The gastronomy in Tuscany today is a mixture of traditional, rustic cuisine and star-quality gastronomy.
