Tuscany in all its Glory

Chianti, Brunello, Vino Nobile, Vin Santo, Sant'antimo, Super Tuscan. All incredibly important wine appellations from this one province in Italy. One of the culinary capitals of Europe with some of the most recognizable wine appellations enjoyed in American culture, Tuscany has been a prosperous land to farmers for centuries. In this class we will do a deep dive into several Tuscan appellations (likely cannot do all of them) and what their wine is expressive. We will also cover some history and try to answer questions like: How many clones of Sangiovese do we know of? Or Who was Franco Bernabei and what was his influence on Chianti?

He also blind tastes in his free time to keep his palate fresh.
