MAIN Arrow to Wine Directory Wine Arrow to  Wines of Europe Europe Arrow to  Wines of ItalyItaly Arrow to Wines of the Tuscany region of Italy Tuscany

Situated in Central Italy, the region is crossed by the Apennines. The Chianti region sits in the heart of Tuscany, but there is much more to Tuscan wines than Chianti.

The soft sun and rolling hills of this area produce a wide variety of white and red wines. The reds are made mainly from the Sangiovese grape. It is difficult to produce a fine wine using Sangiovese alone, so in the past the red wines were blended with other grapes.

Today the emphasis is strongly on Sangiovese and many of the best Tuscan wines use little or no other grape varieties to produce wines. Some of the top wines of the region are Montalcino's Brunello, Chianti's Sangioveto and Montepulciano's Prugnolo Gentile.

These and other emerging labels are coming to be recognized for the stars that they are...
