Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history and artistic legacy. As the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, the region has an incredible art and architecture heritage.<\/p>\n
Tuscany is certainly the most famous of all Italian regions for its wines. Sangiovese reigns in all its forms in the vineyards of Chianti but also Montepulciano and Montalcino.<\/p>\n
It is also the land of the Super Tuscan, the Bordeaux blend style that laid the foundation of some of the greatest Italian wines.<\/p>\n
As a pairing with these wines, Tuscany cuisine is based on simplicity but high quality and certainly topped with Tuscan olive oil, recognized all over the world[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6362″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

In the biggest years, the family selects a Brunello Riserva which is aged, according to regulations, for five years, three of which are in wood. The grapes primarily come from the oldest vines in the vineyard.<\/p>\n
“The complexity and beauty of this wine is something else on the nose, offering perfume, cedar, dried flower, black cherry, blueberry and crushed stone. Orange peel, too. Full-bodied with incredible layers of ultra-fine tannins that give this wine horizontal depth that almost seems endless. Extremely long and lightly chewy at the end. This is one for the cellar<\/strong>.” – James Suckling, 99 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 100% Sangiovese<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12983,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
