Among the best wines of Tuscany are usually red wines, which have a really unique and rich flavor. They are loved both in Italy and around the world.

Tuscany boasts many areas that produce wines with the IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica), DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) and DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) marks - categories in the Italian wine classification that guarantee the geographical origin of the wine and its production method. These are red wines with excellent flavor and consistency, such as Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti, Rosso di Montalcino and many others.

The wines of Tuscany compete with those of the Piedmont region. These Italian regions are the best producers in the country.
