Main Tuscan Red Wines

Our selection of great red wines from different places of Tuscany

We begin from the Siena countryside, and we suggest a young red wine, Rosso di Montalcino, year 2015, a strong young wine, with a great character, that goes very well with tpical tuscan dishes and all kind of meat. Very versatile, it is a good choice for an everyday meal.

Keeping our focus in the Siena countryside, and in the Orcia valley, we strongly recommend this brand new DOC, Leone Rosso d'Orcia. This new DOC has nothing to envy to its bigger famous brother Montalcino DOC. Leone Rosso intends to value the tradition of ancient original grape blends of tuscany and the traditional wine making proceedings. It is a splendid young red wing of the year 2016. It is perfect to go through al the meal, and wonderful to go with seasoned cheeses and italian salumi, cured pork.

Going to the south of Tuscany, in the Maremma region, we meet rosso Sinarra 2013, a more structured wine, very interesting in its taste. It goes with cheese and cured pork. 

Staying in Maremma region, there is the more famous Morellino di Scansano Granducale,  from Azienda Agricola Alberese vineyards. It is a young wine of 2015, to drink with simple and tasty meals such as grilled meat, barbecues, cheese, and pasta with tomatoes.

Last but not least, the Carmignano zone, of historical importance, as it is where the red wine has been certitified for the first time ever, in 1736. Form these places we recommend red wine Villa di Capezzana 2013, a great wine that is superb with any food from the land.

Our last suggestion is Carmignano Trefiano Reserve 2012, by Capezzana winery (as the previous wine), a winery whose history is traced back to 802 (1200 years ago!). This is an important wine that wants to be matched with important meals. It is perfect for meat meals with extensive preparations in the oven or on the grill.
