Ep 473: The Recap of a Trip to the Fabulous Wine Regions of Tuscany

<p class="MsoNormal">This show is a recap of a the recent trip through Tuscany that my travel partner, Tourissimo, and I organized for a group of 19 Patrons (join Patreon so you can make the next one!). We go through the major DOCGs/DOCs we visited and I share some interesting things I learned and observed. A great one for armchair travel!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Here are the DOCGs we explored:</p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal">Vernaccia di San Gimignano</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Vino Nobile di Montepulciano</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Chianti Classico</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Brunello di Montalcino</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Morellino di Scansano</li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal">And the DOCs Maremma and Bolgheri</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">My big takeaway from the trip: I am more optimistic than ever about Tuscan wines, which just keep getting better and better. If you don’t have experience with these wines, I would recommend checking them out (especially if you like Italian food since what grows together, goes together!).</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img style= "display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/45638/IMG_2090.jpg" alt="" width="297" height="393" /><em><strong><span style= "font-size: 8pt;">Chianti Classico, view from Castello Brolio, Ricasoli 1141.<br /> Credit: Wine For Normal People</span></strong></em></p> <p> </p> <p>A few shout outs! </p> <ol> <li>To Heather, Beppe, and Silvia from <a href= "https://www.tourissimo.travel">Tourissimo</a>, for being the best partners ever!  <br /> <a href="https://www.tourissimo.travel"><img style= "display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/45638/tourissimo_logo_1.png" alt="" width="250" height="86" /></a></li> <li>To <a href="http://www.wineaccess.com/wfnp">Wine Access</a> for hooking us up with some great visits to <a href= "https://www.castelloromitorio.com/Defaulten.aspx">Castello Romitorio</a> and <a href= "https://ww
