Tuscany Wines

Tuscan wines run deep into the cultural identity of Italy. This very popular Italian wine region stands tall with its iconic Italian wines such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. True authentic Tuscan wines will use its signature red wine grape Sangiovese alongside small amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino. Despite the relatively recent appearance of Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscan wines, native varieties still reign supreme. 

Sangiovese Wines

Sangiovese is a dark-skinned grape variety originating in Italy and it is the most planted variety in its country. A true Sangiovese wine is acidic and has firm tannins. It also reveals rich flavours of dark cherries and black stone fruit followed by hints of tomato leaf and dried herbs. In Tuscany Sangiovese is responsible for the creation of great quality wines such as Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano or Chianti.
