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. 

Vermentino is a white wine grape variety from the western Mediteranean coast. It’s mostly cultivated in Northwestern Italy, southern France , Corsica and Sardinia and it goes by several names such as Pigato in Liguria, Favorita in Piedmont and Rolle in Provence. Vermentino wines are known for their refreshing acidity and attractive notes of peach, lemon peel, dried herbs and hints of saline minerality. In Tuscany, Vermentino wine is known to be rich, complex and highly aromatic.
