On February 19th, the Palazzo degli Affari in Florence will host a wine tasting featuring PDO and PGI wines from Maremma Toscana, Montecucco, Montecucco Sangiovese, Orcia, Cortona, Valdarno di Sopra, Terre di Pisa, Chianti Rufina, Terre di Casole, Grance Senesi, Montescudaio, Suvereto, Val di Cornia, Rosso della Val di Cornia, Carmignano, Barco Reale di Carmignano, and Vin Santo di Carmignano e Toscana. The event is organized by the “L’Altra Toscana” association, bringing together fourteen consortia, covering 40% of Tuscany’s total production.

The protagonists of the February 19th event will be these lesser-known territories, where vines have been cultivated for centuries. Alongside local historical producers, renowned names in Italian oenology will bring quality and identity to the glasses, intriguing enthusiasts and the market. In previous editions, over 300 labels were tasted, and this year will also offer thematic paths, with various focuses, to facilitate the tasting experience.

“With the strategy of unity, which has proven successful in past editions of this Preview, we want to highlight the countless diversities that characterize us,” explains Francesco Mazzei, head of the “L’Altra Toscana” Association and president of the Consorzio Tutela Vini della Maremma Toscana. “The goal is precisely to promote territories and wines distinguished by ever-higher quality peaks, enriching the wine offering of one of the most established wine regions, which still has much to reveal.”
