Tuscany Siena & Arezzo.

If you were offered a romantic getaway to any Italian wine region of your choice, which would you choose? I’ll bet the vast majority of you would say Tuscany. Perhaps because it’s long been the focus of travel excursions, cooking schools and even Hollywood. Perhaps because we all know where Chianti comes from? We’ve all seen the images; lush rolling hills, villas and grapevines intersected by winding, meandering roads. Those images haven’t been doctored; in fact they are more breathtaking in reality. Each bend in the narrow road brings a more stunning vista and each stop has you wondering if you could just pack it in and find a villa in need of repairs, al la Diane Lane in "Under the Tuscan Sun". I spent several days in Tuscany in the heat of June - it was thorough and enchanting – beginning in the province of Siena in Sarteano we traveled to Montepulciano and Gaiole in Chianti to  to Castellina in Chianti and then to Arezzo. To the unbelievable picturesque hilltop city of Volterra in the province of Pisa, to Livorno to Bolgheri and Suvereto then finally to Grosseto to Castiglione, Cinigiano, Gavorrano and Scansano. I visited tiny wineries, wineries attached to ancient castles and abbeys as well as modern, massive, architecturally celebrated wineries. One does not necessarily make better wines than another - just different.
