Tuscany is home to some of the most famous wine regions in the world, notably Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino . The Chianti Classico wines produced in the hilly countryside between Florence and Siena are mainly based on the Sangiovese grape. These wines are characterized by their freshness, intensity and a characteristic touch of cherry. Barolo from Piedmont – also known as the "King of Italian wine" – is made from the Nebbiolo grape and has a reputation for its structure, tannins and depth. Barolo, especially from the cru location of Villero, is a wine that combines power and finesse with the ability to age beautifully.
