Tuscan wines are known for their fresh, fruity flavors and robust character. Some of the grape varieties used to make these wines include:
- Sangiovese: with good acidity, cherry and violet aromas, and a thin berry skin that produces a lighter color
- Trebbiano: adding citrus notes to the wine
- Vermentino: with tones of fresh herbs
- Merlot and Cabernet Franc: historically French varieties that have gained popularity in Tuscany
Tuscany wines go perfectly with Italian cuisine, such as pasta, pizza, lasagna, and other rustic dishes made with quality ingredients. They also pair well with meats, fresh vegetables, legumes, seafood, and cheese.
Whether you're a wine enthusiast or simply looking for a great wine to pair with your favorite meal, Tuscany wines are an excellent choice.
