There are so many reasons to visit Tuscany. And, while for some visitors, the delicious gelato eaten in front of the tower of Pisa, the superb Chianti sipped on a sunny terrace looking out from beautiful San Gimignano, or the perfect coffee to accompany ones musing over David, are a very pleasant bonus, for some of us they’re one of the main reasons to visit Tuscan. Because Tuscany is delicious! You might want to delve deep into the flavours of the local Montepulciano and Montalcino wines, or learn about the ‘Super-Tuscans’ from those who know them best.
