Tuscany as a broader region includes famous areas including Montalcino and Chianti and of course the famous table wine, the Super Tuscan. The most planted variety is Sangiovese but international varieties are increasing in popularity with the critical acclaim of Super Tuscan style wines.

Since 1592 the Gondi family has been producing Chianti Rufina at their Tenuta Bossi estate, northeast of Florence. Their wines have been renowned since the Renaissance and today, after centuries, are viewed with the same prestige.
