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.
Cabernet Sauvignon Wines
Indigenous to Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon is the most famous black skinned grape variety in the world. In fact it is the product of a natural genetic crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. Besides its fame in Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon wines are highly regarded in the New World wine regions especially in California, Chile and South Australia. Undoubtedly the finest Cabernet Sauvignon wines are found in Bordeaux and California, a viewpoint supported by the 1976 Judgment of Paris.
