Our Tuscany Wines

Tuscany is one of Italy’s most iconic wine regions. Between rolling hills, medieval villages, and a unique cultural heritage, it captivates both Italian wine lovers and travelers seeking the Italian art of living.

Beyond its beauty, Tuscany stands out for the diversity of its appellations: from the famous Chianti to the majestic Brunello di Montalcino, the refined Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and the modern Super Tuscans. The region also produces elegant white wines and the renowned Vin Santo dessert wine.

The Magic of the Tuscan Terroir

Between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apennines, Tuscany offers a mosaic of terroirs: limestone, clay-marl, sandy, and stony soils, all bathed in a temperate Mediterranean climate. The king grape, Sangiovese, expresses all its richness here, producing wines that are fruity, elegant, and built to age.

Our Vinodelice Selection

While Tuscany shines through its diversity, at Vinodelice
we highlight the great red wines that have made the region world-famous.

We work with benchmark estates such as Rocca delle Macie, known for the finesse of its Chianti Classico and iconic Super Tuscans. Alongside these, we offer prestigious appellations
like Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, which embody the richness and elegance of Tuscany’s
vineyards.

The Great Red Wines of Tuscany

Chianti

A true symbol of Tuscany, Chianti delights with aromas of cherry, violet, and herbs. Made primarily from Sangiovese, it
comes in several styles depending on classification: Classico, Riserva, or Gran Selezione.

Brunello di Montalcino

Made exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso, Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy’s most prestigious wines. It impresses with its power, elegance, and remarkable aging potential — often over 20 years.

• Esperienza Numero 8 – Brunello di Montalcino 2018: refined and intense, perfect for special occasions.

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Not to be confused with Montepulciano d’Abruzzo (a different grape and region), Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is crafted from Prugnolo Gentile, a Sangiovese clone. Elegant, structured, and slightly mineral, it’s among Italy’s oldest DOCG wines.

• Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2021 – 1787: finesse and authenticity.

Super Tuscans

Born in the 1970s, Super Tuscans broke traditional rules, blending Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to create powerful, modern wines highly sought after worldwide.

• Roccato 2020 Super Tuscan – Rocca delle Macie: an
  elegant marriage of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Other Red Appellations

Beyond the icons, Tuscany offers many fascinating appellations:

• Morellino di Scansano: sunny and approachable.
• Bolgheri: birthplace of legendary Super Tuscans like Sassicaia.
• Carmignano: a historic appellation blending tradition and modernity.

White Wines and Vin Santo

Tuscany also produces elegant whites such as Vernaccia
di San Gimignano, known for its minerality and floral character, along with Vermentino and Chardonnay.

As for sweet wines, Vin Santo is a traditional Tuscan treasure,
a luscious dessert wine with notes of honey, dried fruits, and spices, often served with cantucci (almond biscuits).
