Tuscany is the land of the Medici, the Duomo of Florence and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, a place of art and culture but it is also a land famous in the world for the excellence of its wines. Rows of fine grapes grow on the gentle hills, between splendid landscapes and ancient streets, which become real itineraries to follow for those who want to get lost in colors and local gastronomic production. The Tuscan Wine Roads, together with those of Flavors, are one of the most interesting routes to discover the lesser-known corners of the area, villas and farmhouses, farms and cellars where you can taste the best labels.
