About Tuscany
Located in the central region of Italy, Tuscany boasts stunning countryside, a beautiful coastline and culture aplenty in its capital city, Florence. The regional cuisine consists mainly of traditional dishes and desserts, that have kept their recipes unchanged for many years. Saltless bread is a custom that few other regions have adopted. As for the wines, its famous reds are sangiovese-based wines: Chianti Classico, Montepulciano, and Brunello di Montalcino. Many wines are also known as Super Tuscans because they don’t conform to traditional production rules. These wines can be 100% sangiovese or blended with international varieties like cabernet sauvignon or syrah. The most known white wine is the Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Other varieties include canaiolo nero, trebbiano, vermentino, ciliegiolo, alicante and ansonica.
