Do You Know These Little Known Facts About Tuscany Wines?

Entertain with the Region's Finest Wines





Wine can add a sophisticated touch to any party or dinner that

you host. When entertaining, treat your guests to the smooth

flavor of Italian wine, specifically Tuscany wine.





Italy produces more wine than any other country in the world,

and some of the finest varieties hail from the Tuscany region.

Wine has been produced in Tuscany for hundreds and hundreds of

years. In recent decades Tuscan winemakers have put great effort

into the quality of their products, resulting in the excellent

Tuscany wine on the market today. Tuscany wine is enjoyed widely

and is easy to find in restaurants and diners as well as stores.





Super Tuscan Wine





In the past few decades an unofficial category of Tuscany wine

has arisen, given the name Super Tuscan. Wines created by making

unconventional blends of different grape varieties fall under

the Super Tuscan category.





Tuscany Wine Zones





Tuscany is divided into several wine zones. Three of the most

important of these are Bolgheri, Chianti Classico and Montalcino.





What is Bolgheri Tuscany Wine?





The Bolgheri zone, located in the west of Tuscany, is the

birthplace of Sassacaia and Tignanello, which began the

Super-Tuscan trend. In recent decades Bolgheri wine has received

much attention for the quality of its wines. Winemakers in the

Bolgheri zone specialize in red Tuscany wine created by blending

the grapes of Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot or

Cabernet Sauvignon. Several different wines are produced using

different combinations of these grapes.





What is Chianti Classico Tuscany Wine?





What more classic image of Tuscany wine is there than the straw

basket covered bottle of Chianti resting on a checkered

tablecloth in a cozy Italian restaurant? The Chianti Classico

zone lies in central Tuscany. Red Sangiovese grapes are the

primary ingredient of Chianti Classico, but they are generally

blended with other grapes, such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

and Canaiolo. Chianti Classico is a full-bodied, bold wine that

makes a good complement to well-seasoned food. Chianti Classico

wine has come a long way from its inexpensive, straw bottled

past and today there are some excellent wines produced in the

region. You can still get the straw basket variety if you

choose, however.





What is Montalcino Tuscany Wine?





The Montalcino zone is located in the Siena area of Tuscany.

Montalcino is known for producing the Brunello di Montalcino

variety of Tuscany wine. Brunello di Montalcino is a red wine

made from the Sangiovese grape and normally aged for at least

four years, two in oak barrels. Brunello di Montalcino goes well

with steak, roasts and flavorful cheeses.





More Tuscany Wine





Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a robust red wine that is also

based on the Sangiovese grape and is similar to Brunello di

Montalcino. Trebbiano is a traditional white Tuscany wine.

Bianco di Pitigliano is produced in the southern Tuscan region

of Pitigliano, and is a popular white Tuscany wine. Vernaccia di

San Gimignano, made near Siena, is one of the best known Tuscany

white wines.

When you are still in the choosing stages of your wine basket gift there are some questions that you should ask yourself about the occasion and the recipient of the wine basket. These questions can help you to find out just the right wine basket for this person on this very special occasion.

First you have to ask yourself who will be getting this wine basket. Are you giving it to someone that you work with or a family member or a friend? And is the recipient a man or a woman? These sorts of questions matter because men like a different sort of wine basket gift than many women. You see, women often like to get a wine basket that has some pretty wine glasses in it or a great corkscrew while men just want to be able to drink the wine or put it on display for other wine enthusiasts to drool over.
