WINE - TOSCANA



Toscana.... this charming region that associates great wines, food, historical villages and cities. 

Montalcino, located in the south of Firenze, became a World Heritage site by Unesco in 2004. The vineyards are known by their excellent quality. Some listed in the best 101 wines of Italy.





Altesino is mentioned by the Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli 2010. This  'Azieda' produces much more than wine: there you can also taste grappa, brandy and olive oil. Visits can be booked in advance if you are planning a trip : www.altesino.com



Castello Banfi appears in the list with Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura Riserva 2008. This domain deserves a visit, known by the wines but also by the food. There is possible to book a table in their medieval castle: Poggio alle Mura. Check it out in their website   www.castellobanfi.com  





Simplicity and originality are marks of Toscana. Biondi Santi is a genuine example of a family business with charm and quality. Greppo Brunello de Montalcino 2008 is a merit of their work. www.biondisanti.com 


Mastrojanni. This winery collects awards : with an excellent quality of wine and a beautiful field. A tour is almost an obligation if you are planning a trip or visit around. The wine chosen is Brunello de Montalcino Vigna Loreto 2007. Take a look in the site: www.mastrojanni.com
