From the resort town of Forte dei Marmi in the north to the inland town of Montepulciano in the south, Tuscany encompasses 10 provinces in central Italy.
If it is a little more basic, such as a margherita, he recommends a Montepulciano, a wild, robust red wine from Abruzzo, the mountainous region in central Italy.
From La Maremma to Florence, every hilltop village has its own character and the lands that produce Chianti, Brunello and Montepulciano, also yield delicious specialties from wild boar to truffles.
