The Tuscany region of Italy is responsible for the growth and production of some of the nation's most famous and noteworthy wines.

Tuscan cuisine tends to be heavy on meat and game, and as such, a brilliant tradition of producing magnificently bold reds has been passed on for generations.

Italian white wine development has recently increased, and dessert wines have always been a mainstay.

Tuscans love their wine, and it shows.

The red selections definitely take top honors. Chianti, arguably the most famous wine from Italy, is a Tuscany trademark.

The old straw-covered, rounded bottles are forever tied to Italian history, but these days, many chiantis far exceed even the most sophisticated wines.

Splurge for a chianti classico and indulge in a bottle that hails from the original location. The richness and complexity is astounding.

Other wonderful red options from Tuscany include Brunello di Montalcino, which is often heralded as the most flavorful and elegant.

Tignanello and sassicala wines, both relatively new introductions, are refined flavors melded from cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese.

White Tuscany types include the sweetly famous Vin Santo and the much beloved Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
