Toscana

Florence's region has shifted its stance in the last couple of decades from a complacent supplier of flask Chianti to the nation's most creative producer of premium wines.  Much of the progress has come with classical reds - Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile de Montepulciano, Chianti and Carinignano - all DOCG.  But growing success with other reds (including the stylish table wines sometimes called "Super Tuscans") has been augmented by a new breed of whites to enhance the region's reputation.  Vernaccia di San Ginignano's promotion to DOCG gave Tuscany five of the nations thirteen guaranteed wines.  What Chianti has in common with all the classified red wines of Tuscany is its major grape variety, Sangiovese.  Tuscany's wine of greatest stature is Brunello di Montalcino.
