Tuscany is one of the most famous and prolific wine regions in Europe. It is best known for its Dry red wines made from Sangiovese grapes, which dominate production. These include Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The region's Vin Santo is also highly prized, as are its passito dessert wines, though these are produced in comparatively tiny quantities.
Dry whites are probably less familiar to most consumers - except perhaps Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Located in Central Italy, Tuscany borders Liguria and Emilia-Romagna to the North, Umbria and Marche to the east and Lazio to the South. Its western border is formed by the Tyrrhenian Sea. The picturesque rolling hills, medieval villages and cypress-lined avenues attract tourists and help promote the wines.
Aleatico noir is a grape variety originating from Italy. It produces a variety of grape specially used for wine making. It is rare to find this grape to eat on our tables. This variety of grape is characterized by medium-sized bunches and medium-sized grapes. Aléatico noir can be found in several vineyards: South-West, Cognac, Bordeaux, Provence & Corsica, Rhone Valley, Loire Valley, Savoie & Bugey, Beaujolais.
sweet wines from the region of Tuscany go well with generally quite well with dishes of pasta, vegetarian or appetizers and snacks such as recipes of spaghetti with shrimp and cream, zucchini quiche or tempura of vegetables and quick.
