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.
\nTuscany 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.
\nIt is also the land of the Super Tuscan, the Bordeaux blend style that laid the foundation of some of the greatest Italian wines.
\nAs 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=”8735″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Founded by Alibrando Dei in 1964, today Cantine Dei is run by the granddaughter Caterina Dei.
\nThe estate covers 120 hectares, with 60ha of vineyards divided into five areas of production. Each site has its own soil type with defining characteristics. Amongst, \u201cBossona\u201d and \u201cLa Piaggia\u201d stands out for their soil rich in skeletons and fossils from Pliocene period.
\nIn 2019 a new cru, Madonna della Querce, has been released. The fruits are coming from a south-facing slope of 1.5ha, planted in 2005 in a sandy, tuffaceous and clayey mixture soil.
\nTo pay a tribute to this unique terroir, the new winery has been built with a staircase inspired by fossil seashells.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
“Subtle but enticing perfume to the nose, offering cherry-based aromas that are tinged with bright, tangy spice. Full-bodied with a super intense bead of perfectly placed fruit and tannin. There\u2019s slight firmness to the tannin at the end, so wait a year for perfect integration. Beautiful quality here. Not overly complex, but such good winemaking. Best from 2023.” – James Suckling, 94 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 100% Sangiovese<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8741,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
