Under the Tuscan Hang-Over
Looking for a few good wines for your upcoming Valentine’s Day dinner?
Why not head into the Tuscan section? Here, the grape Sangiovese is KING and my golly, it’s a beauty.
Instead of always reaching for those American Cabernets to suit your celebration, head into the unknown. Tuscany, an amazing region full of diversity. While Sangiovese, yes, is the main grape of this wine region – remember that from slopeside to slopeside – the grape takes on ‘stylistically’ always a different persona. Of course, this where the Super Tuscans take shape as Sangiovese is blended with a few of those delicious French grapes Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah to fatten it up.
Here – I review almost 10 wines from the region of Tuscany. Moving from the north to the south of Tuscany, stylistically I show you WHY I truly HEART these wines, unveil a few of my favorite producers and chat structure when it comes to comparing wines at their pricepoints.
Tour Chianti Classico, Bolgheri, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Morellino di Scansano and more.
Grab a glass of vino, snuggle in, sit back and relax as you take this quick trip to Tuscany, Italy with me.
