Italian Wine Varieties
After all the turmoil concerning Brunello di Montalcino, we visited the area to rediscover the real Brunello, its roots and traditions. While touring these historic vineyards, we were overwhelmed by the passion and the drive of the producers of this famous Tuscan Sangiovese. We selected from numerous tastings, the most original productions that represent the freedom of expression of the classical Brunello.
While on the Tuscan roads, we made a number of wonderful discoveries. During our search for wines we ran into a number of local ancient rivalries. Today these ancient contrasts are found in Wine rivalries, which give life to healthy competition. We have played on these conflicts and created our own challenge between Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino.
Tuscany and Piedmont are two landmarks regions of Italian wine. We are not trying to decide which region is better, since both produce excellent wines. It is, however, an attempt to dive into history through a discussion stimulated by the scents and flavours of these magnificent wines that range from Brunello to Barolo and Barbaresco to Chianti Classico.
