Episode 16: Tuscan Vines

Since our very first trip to to Tuscany, we have been fixated on the wines from the region. It doesn't take long to find out that when you start scratching the surface, vino in Tuscany is very complex.

The one common denominator to great great wine in Tuscany, Sangiovese. The grape is often refereed to as the blood of love and for good reason!

So how do we make sense of all the wines of Tuscany? Well, we call a wine expert of course!  John Fodera publishes the Tuscan Vines blog and in our mind is the authority on the subject. John has over 25 years of tasting and reviewing experience.  He is dedicated to enhancing the wonderful culture of wine, food and the Italian lifestyle.

In this Total Tuscany Podcast you will hear John talk about the many different varieties of Tuscan wines.  What are his favorites? What are his not so favorites? What is the once bottle of wine from Tuscany you should buy? Is it worth taking wine home from our trip? And why don't we get a headache the morning after drinking a couple of bottles in Italy?

John is getting ready to leave for Tuscany to taste more wine and immerse himself in the Italian culture. Get to know him by listening to fascinating insight.
