A large agricultural region in central Italy whose artistic and cultural treasures and idyllic lifestyle have been attracting tourists for hundreds of years, Tuscany boasts over 12,000 wineries in 11 DOCG, 41 DOC, and six IGT wine denominations. Tuscany has 130 grape varieties registered in the national gene bank accounting for about eight percent of all the wine produced in the country.
Tuscany offers incredible options for those seeking food-friendly wines, both red and white, that often overdeliver on quality for the price. Several Tuscan subregions also allow the production of rosé, sparkling, and sweet wines. Made with 100 percent Sangiovese, Tenute Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG offers red cherry, raspberry, vanilla, and fennel bulb flavors wrapped in a sheath of velvety tannins.
