Tuscany

With its rolling hills, warm sun, and dry weather, Tuscany is famous for the wine it produces.  Sangiovese is king here.  From simple table wines to elegant Chiantis to bold Brunello di Montalcino, Sangiovese is used to make a whole range of wines.  Winemakers have experimented blending it with traditional French varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to make Super Tuscans.
