Wine Tours in Tuscany - About Angie - +39 3333185705 - angie.chianti@gmail.com
Tuscany is one of the greenest regions of Italy: there is a great biodiversity of vegetation and animals of all sizes. As well as a perfect microclimate, a right hilly altitude, perfect excursion of the temperature during the day in the Summer seasons, then hot in the Summer and cold in the Winter. All that means that in Tuscany there is perfect and balanced eco system.
All this makes the perfect place for the magnificent Tuscan wines and extra virgin olive oil made here.
The terroir, the soil is so important that Tuscany is divided into DOCG wine areas, or subzones, what does it mean? That all the wineries that want to produce Chianti wine or Brunello wine have to be inside their specific wine regions, Chianti or Montalcino. In like manner San Gimignano for the Vernaccia wine, Montepulciano for the Nobile di Montepulciano.
Indeed, specific wine areas have special features that belong specifically to that wine region. When you drink a wine that comes from one of those areas you find that they have their own identity, personality, that is always recognizable.
The terroir means precisely this, that a wine can be recognized and identified thanks to the area where it was produced.
When we talk about organic wines or natural, biodynamic or even vegan wines in Tuscany, we talk about different aspects.
The organic wineries that want to produce organic wines have to follow the DOCG rules and furthermore stricter rules for getting the organic certification.
Some of these rules mean a lesser use of sulfites than in conventional wine, from which fewer headaches, stomach ache, hangover, no chemicals in the soil and in the vines, trying to respect as much as possible the relationship among land, vineyard, climate.
Before the grape harvest the wineries try to fortify the vines with natural substances such as fava beans plants between the vines rows, or other plants rich in potassium and nitrogen.
The harvest is done by hand to not stress the vines and to select the best bunches of grapes. Additionally, in the cellar they are prohibited to use aromatic additives, sugars, and any chemicals.
The result will be a healthy grapes that will produce a healthy, natural wine, rich, balanced and unique.
In Tuscany organic wine therefore means respect for nature, for the place where we live, for people who live in the wine-producing areas, for plants, animals.
Organic Tuscan Wine doesn’t only mean respect for the environment and the eco system, but also the production of quality wines with more aroma and flavor.
Healthy vines means also healthier wines, with more antioxidants and anti-radicals and polyphenols.
These days more and more wineries in Tuscany are transformed into organic, biodynamic, natural, vegan, wineries for ethical and environmentally sustainable choice. Anyway, there are also wineries that have always been organic for centuries, thanks to ancient techniques of cultivation handed down from father to son, who have rejected the use of pesticides and other chemicals when in the 50’s they were introduced by pharmaceutical companies.
In our Tuscan wine tours from Florence to discover great organic vineyards you will be able to taste not only organic wines but also organic extra virgin olive oil and organic food for lunch, without preservatives and produced from local farms to respect the rule from the farm to the table.
