Florentine and Tuscan Wines are very famous all around the world, thanks to the wine production areas that surround Florence, like the most famous: Chianti.
A glass of Tuscan Red Wine
Two of the main noble families of Florence, Antinori and Frescobaldi, began producing wine 8 centuries ago. They have been great rivals ever since.
In Florence you can visit a "Cantina" (Wine cellar) to enjoy a delightful wine tasting or winery tour inside an "Enoteca" (Wine bar). In these wineries you can taste: Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, or the famous Ornellaia.
However you don't need to enter a winery to taste a good wine, because in Florence you can find a "vinaino" (small stand where you can sip a glass of wine and taste some "aperitivo" outside, in the street) in every corner in the city center.
It is also possibile to have a Wine Tour with an expert guide to taste some of the fineste wines in the world.
