The Tuscan menu requires a strong wine which can accompany the dishes without altering its flavours; at the same time, however, it should not come across as a weak companion. Tuscany itself provides us with its best reds such as an intense Brunello di Montalcino, a classic Chianti or an elegant Bolgheri-Sassicaia. |
