The rolling, sun-baked hills between Florence and Siena are most people's picture postcard of Italy; home to the Sangiovese grape in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. These savoury, black fruit and violet-scented reds are the perfect match for a fine grilled steak, sausages, pizza, pasta...Tuscany in a glass; unforgettable.
Tuscany Wines – Wines from Italy
There are several wines that are native to Italy and some of the very best kinds are from Tuscany. Tuscany wines are some of the world’s most coveted wines for drinking and for gifting to friends and family. Wine makes wonderful gifts, and Tuscan wines are some of the best for that. The kinds of wine that come out of Tuscany add up to about three dozen and are split fifty-fifty between red and white wines. Red Tuscany wines are typically Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Caniolo, and Sangiovese. Sangiovese wines are some of the most sought after because they are so unique to this region. Of the other red wines Cabernet and Merlot are the most well known, but every kind of Tuscany wine should be certified at DOC.
The white wines that are found and sold in Tuscany, Italy are less well known that other white wines, and can be considered sort of simple or plain tasting. They are Trebbiano, Malvasia, Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino, and Vernacce. The last two in this list are the only ones that are only grown in Tuscany. Italian wines are all certified as DOC as long as they meet the standards that are set. The only exception to that is a classification that is becoming known as Super Tuscans. These wines break the rules that would otherwise qualify them for a DOC rating, but the product is known to be way above standard. Tuscany wines and especially Super Tuscans are known for their ability to be delicious and age really well.

Thank you for arranging this delivery. It¹s always a bit risky to send flowers via the internet when you¹re not in same country, but you guys were absolutely fabulous. I have received a pic of the orchid from my sister and it is truly lovely, just what I would have chosen in person.
