Toscana

profile：

One of the most important wine regions in Italy, Tuscany is home to the cities of Florence and Siena, the districts of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, and the wineries of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Ornellaia. Tuscany is also home to the indigenous Italian grape variety, Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
The most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Wine labeled from these regions is Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these regions has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries producing consistently outstanding wines that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bolgheri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy, still the resulting wine is highly-acclaimed.
