Toskana

The Tuscany is probably Italy’s most reputed winegrowing area alongside Piedmont. Long before the Roman era, the Etruscans had already begun to cultivate vines in Tuscany. Hence the region is also one of Europe’s oldest vine cultivation areas. The world-renowned Chianti and Brunello are Tuscany’s most celebrated wines, and rightly so. Tuscany is also Italy’s largest premium-range wine producer overall. Spoilt by plenty of sunlight, cooled by strong sea breezes and enjoying abundant rains, while nourished on soils imbued with chalk, limestone and sandstone, and various combinations thereof, Tuscan vines produce wines of outstanding quality – acclaimed by wine-lovers across the world.
