Collection: Tuscan Wines
Tuscany (Toscana in Italian) is famous for it's rolling sun kissed hills and powerful reds. Traditionally, Sangiovese is the grape that rules here. All of our Tuscan reds are 100% Sangiovese.
Though much interest and investment has poured into "super tuscans" (wines that include "international" varietals, usually of French origin, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah) since the 70s, you won't find any of them here. At Vino Cammino we're more interested in traditional varietals and styles of the regions we import from. We think there is something about the historical connection between grape, soil, food, and culture that is worth hanging on to.
Our focus narrows into two sub-regions of Tuscany:
Chianti Classico: If you've ever wondered what is the difference between Chianti and Sangiovese, the answer is not a lot. Most Chianti is made from majority Sangiovese, though small amounts of other varieties are permitted. Chianti Classico is where you'll find that famous black rooster on the bottle neck, signifying that the wine is sourced from the traditional Chianti region nestled among the hills between Florence in the North and Sienna in the South. Recent changes to the regulations make it easier to identify the quality levels within this already high quality production, with regular Chianti (also known as Annata), Riserva and Gran Selezione all requiring slightly different quality hurdles to be overcome.
Montalcino: The hilltop town surrounded by very special soils and cultivating its own distinct clone of Sangiovese (known in the local dialect as Brunello). The quality of wines being produced in Montalcino has never been better. A Rosso di Montalcino always represents excellent value on a wine list, and Brunello di Montalcino has rightfully taken its place as one of the real champions of Italian red wine (and the world, for that matter!)
