About Tuscany Italy
Tuscany’s winemaking industry counts on the most noble and ancient traditions

The hilly soil and weather conditions of Tuscany are ideal for grape growing and, with the passing centuries, the numerous types of grapes grown gave rise to rare and much loved varieties.
Today, the most grown variety is the noble Sangiovese, which is often combined with small amounts of locally grown Cabernet, Canaiolo and other grapes and blended into wines such as the Brunello di Montalcino, Morellino di Scansano, Carmignano, and of course, Chianti, which probably is the best known Italian wine in the world. Currently, the region is at the forefront among the wine production zones which act as international ambassador for wines Made in Italy .
