In her words
My take: Orcia DOC is one of the most exciting places to discover Sangiovese in Tuscany right now.
Tuscany is famous for red wine and bistecca, and while I have a recommendation for Brunello, a powerful red wine designed for ageing, the region has much more to offer.
Tuscany may be famous for red wine, but standing here with this glass, it’s clear that one of Italy’s most compelling white wines deserves just as much attention.
Without the summer crowds, Tuscany feels expansive again, slower, more intimate, and infinitely more rewarding.
One of the great pleasures of visiting Tuscany in winter is its natural thermal springs.
If you’re considering a winter trip to southern Tuscany, particularly in the weeks leading up to Christmas, expect fewer crowds, mist-laced mornings and that low golden light photographers dream about.
