Tuscany is surely a
gifted territory for wine. Worldwide people in the past have
associated Italian wine with Chianti and in many Countries
continue till now. In fact the "Chianti Classic Gallo Nero" (black
rooster) has been one of the first Italian wines to be exported,
mainly to the USA, but also to South America and to far eastern
countries such as Australia and Japan. There are so many brands
of Chianti wines. As a consequence there is always room for more
information and more wine tasting. But Tuscany is also home to
other delicious and very appreciated wines such as the Vernaccia
of S.Gimignano, the "Vino Nobile di Montepulciano", all D.O.C.G.
(controlled origin guaranteed and) to end with the top quality
wine the "Brunello of Montalcino" considered, together with the
Barolo and Barbaresco, to be the first 5 top wines in Italy.
Our Wine Tasting courses in San Giovanni purpose is to
make the foreign wine lover more acquainted with the wide
variety of Tuscan wines, to better appreciate their properties
and to accompany them with local food ingredients. Apart from
lessons, our students will be invited to join our excursions to
the most breathtaking landscapes and scenarios along the Chianti
area.
