Academie Du Vin Library On Tuscany

Description

Over the last 30 years, Tuscany has transformed itself from a beautiful backwater into the beating heart of Italian wine. It hasn’t been an easy evolution, and it’s not over yet… As Sangiovese challenges the dominance of the mighty Super Tuscans (their story is told in these pages), 11 new terroirs of Chianti Classico are set to compete with the climate of Burgundy for vineyard clarity, and the mountain wines of Montalcino and its once-glorious cousin Montepulciano are renewing their rivalry. Tuscany describes all this and more… from the rugged vineyards of Bolgheri and the coastal Maremma to the hidden roads of Chianti and the terraces of Giglio, as told by beloved authors, cutting-edge experts and Italy’s newest Masters of Wine. They are all enchanted by the wild winds that sweep across this land, breathing life into the vineyards and the deepest character into its wines...
