Tuscany

The images that come to mind when people speak of Tuscany are actually always those from the heart of Tuscany, the Chianti region. Everyone thinks of the wonderful hilly landscape between Florence and Siena. But Tuscany is much more. Much bigger. And more diverse.

Tuscany is often referred to as "Cuore d'Italia" - the heart of Italy - even if geographically it is not one hundred percent right. Historically, however, it has always been one of the most lively and economically successful regions in the country. And it was one of the first areas where wine was cultivated. Already from the Etruscans. From the high mountains of the Apennines, the country falls down in picturesque, scenic beauty to the Tyrrhenian Sea. Tuscany borders Liguria and Emilia-Romagna to the north, Marche and Umbria to the east and Lazio to the south. Also the third largest Italian island Elba counts to it.

Besides Piedmont, Tuscany is the most famous Italian wine-growing region with some of the world's most famous wines. The Italians divide the wine regions into "Il Cuore Antico" which basically means the classical wine growing areas in the Chianti area and "L'Altra Toscana" which means the "newer" wine growing areas such as Maremma, the coastal and mountain regions as well as Elba.
