IT HAD LONG BEEN A BUCKET LIST DREAM of mine to visit Tuscany, the heartland of the most excellent Italian wines, during the grape harvest. In August, I realised that dream with a group of close friends. We spent two weeks in a five-bedroom villa just outside San Quirico d'Orcia and conducted several wine excursions to the nearby Montalcino, Montepulciano and Chianti regions.
These regions are home to three of Italy's most famous wines: Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile de Montepulciano, and Chianti Classico. All three are made from Sangiovese, Tuscany's dominant grape. We also wandered the narrow cobbled streets of several ancient towns in the Tuscan countryside, imbibing the fabulous medieval art and architecture, interacting with the friendly locals and sampling the superb cuisine.
