Tuscany is one of the top wine-producing areas of the world. Apart from the impressive number of classified wines available (IGT and DOC-G), one must add the outstanding non-traditional wines like Sassicaia, Le Pergole Torte etc., the so-called Super Tuscan, which are appreciated all over the world. The course will introduce students to the outstanding richness of Tuscan wine typologies, focusing particularly on a presentation of the most important winegrowing areas in Tuscany. A general introduction to wine appreciation will be offered and a selection of Tuscan wines will be studied in terms of their characteristics.
