Who doesn't know the difference between red wine and white wine. But, if you were shown two groves, one of  Sangiovese grapes, and the other of  Pinot Noir grapes, would you know the difference? The land of Tuscany is blessed with species of grapes known throughout the world for their sublime, yet robust flavors. Vineyards, dating to antiquity and the Middle Ages abound in the countryside . They surround the castles and estates, medieval walled town and farmhouses, which dot the countryside. Hues of green and different shades of purple create a landscape of consummate beauty, an artists pallet created by the hand of nature.
