How to choose the right Tuscan wine?

When choosing a Tuscan wine, the first thing to consider is your personal taste. If you prefer sweet, fruity wines, a white wine like Vernaccia di San Gimignano or Vermentino is the right choice. If you prefer more robust, structured wines, then a red wine like Chianti or Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is better.

Furthermore, it's also important to consider the vintage of the wine you're purchasing. Wine quality depends on the climatic conditions during the period in which the grapes were grown, so before purchasing a bottle, it's a good idea to ask the producer about the vintage.

Where to find Tuscan wines?

Tuscany boasts numerous wineries that organize guided tours and tastings to showcase their wines.
