Tuscany, Italy, is renowned for its Sangiovese-based wines, such as Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino, as well as its international blends, coined “Super Tuscans”, which are made partially or entirely from Bordeaux varietals. The region’s diverse topography features rolling hills, valleys, and coastal areas, with soils ranging from clay and limestone-rich galestro to sandy and alluvial compositions. Tuscany’s traditions are partly shaped by Sangiovese, which can vary dramatically in structure and astringency and requiring more oxidation during winemaking, emphasizing a rustic savory style instead of fruit purity. Still, its younger regions like Bolgheri are focal points for modern influence.
