Chianti
The area offers the best Tuscan wine and is located between Siena, Florence, and Arezzo. Records of Chianti wine go back to the 13th century as a popular white wine. A new wine recipe was created in the 19th century. Wine made here now contains 80% Sangiovese grapes and the aged wine is referred to as 'Riserva.'
Montepulciano
Here, the wine cellar is the most beautiful in the world and is lined with huge oak barrels filled with aging wine. Here, wine tasting is always accompanied by bruschetta, Tuscan salami, and Pecorino cheese. Wine here is a deep red, medium-bodied with soft flavor to be enjoyed in their youth. Montepulciano grapes are used in the production, but recent blends include a percentage of Sangiovese grapes.
