Discovering Tuscany
Nestled in central Italy, Tuscany is a gem bordered by the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west and the Apennines to the east. With ten provinces, including the iconic Pisa and its Leaning Tower, its capital is the historic city of Florence, home to the Uffizi Gallery.
The Heritage of Wine in Tuscany
Wine-making in Tuscany is as ancient as its art and architecture. It dates back to around 800 BCE, when the Etruscans began cultivating the wild vines found on its sunlit hills.
Varieties and Blends
Tuscany is home to numerous grape varieties. Some wines, like Cabernet Sauvignon, are crafted from a single grape, while others are blends. Notably, Chianti is made from a mix of Sangiovese, Canaiolo (red), and Malvasia (white). Historically, Chianti was solely Sangiovese until Bettino Ricasoli introduced the blend in the 19th century. Since 1995, many have returned to the original Sangiovese recipe.
Wine Roads of Tuscany
Tuscany offers wine enthusiasts fourteen "wine roads," each renowned for a specific grape variety. Every province has at least one; Florence and Grosseto boast three each. These roads feature unique signage to guide visitors through vineyards and cellars open to exploration.
Tours and Experiences
Tuscany's global wine-making reputation has inspired international travel companies to offer dedicated wine tours. Joining one of these guided tours provides an opportunity to explore the picturesque Italian countryside with fellow wine lovers.
