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=”6413″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

“The 2021 Le Volte dell’Ornellaia offers bright and youthful fruit with dark cherry, cassis, spice and red rose. This wine is composed of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. You feel the acidity of the Italian grape and the rich fruit from the two French varietals. The wine is tonic and tight with mid-weight intensity. This is the entry-level red from one of Italy’s most iconic estates.” – Wine Advocate, 91 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6445,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
