Chianti Classico
Nestled between two major cities of France, the Chianti château area stretches from River Arno to River Ombrone. Traditionally renowned as a wine producing area, the vineyards in Chianti Classico are worth visiting. Tourists generally are amazed at the landscape that houses several old-fashioned villages with castles and farms. Divided distinctly into Chianti Fiorentino and Chianti Senese, this region is about 170,000 acres in total, and has long summers and extreme winters. Most of the 5,000 producers from this region have the DOCG status and are among the best in the world. Some of the main producers from here, such as Castello di Ama, Badia a Passignano, Montevertine, Isole e Olena and Felsina, have been making the Sangiovese grape wines popular.
Montalcino
This beautiful medieval town features several old churches, palaces and many imposing beautiful structures. However, when people from across the world talk about Montalcino the thought of elegant wine comes to mind. Known as one of the most expensive and favourite wines in the world, Brunello di Montalcino features an intense red color that perfectly matches traditional Italian food. Several wine-tasting tours are organized in this region.
Montepulciano
Montepulciano is nicknamed the "miniature Florence." It is less popular among Tuscany's "Big Three" wine centers, though equally crucial to the Tuscany wine culture. Montepulciano resembles Florence especially for its churches and town architecture. According to the noblemen of medieval times, Montepulciano was the original birthplace of wine. Hence, the local name is Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The wines produced here are slightly unconventional as compared to Chianti Classico and Montalcino-based wines. The popular Rossi di Montepulciano wines are produced using grapes from young vineyards, which account for their fruitiness and fresh aroma.
San Gimignano
San Gimignano is another well known wine growing region besides Tuscany's Big Three. Home to four medieval towns known as Monteriggioni, Colle Val d'Elsa, Volterra and Certaldo, San Gimignano boasts an ancient city skyline. This makes the San Gimignano region one of the most romantic places in Italy. Nestled in the Elsa Valley, tourists get to enjoy a beautiful view of natural and man-made creations while they sip on some locally made wine. Several wine making and wine-tasting workshops and tours take place in this region, especially at the Vernaccia Museum. As you enter through the old gates of the San Gimignano region, you will be enthralled by the beauty and tannin aromas that linger here.
