If it's Tuscany you want, it's Tuscany you'll get. From the
Adriatic to the Mediterrean, we'll cover Tuscany from coast-to-coast.
And if you're thinking: Wait a minute Vin, Tuscany doesn't
extend to the Adriatic, you're right! We aren't rearranging
Italian geography. We're actually going to the Marche region
that had a great article about it in the New York Times May
22 Travel Section, titled "Is this the Next Tuscany:
A Vanishing Italy stills exists among the hill towns of Le
Marche."
After meeting at the airport in Rome on July 10, we'll travel
to the Adriatic seacoast town of Senigallia, our home base
for 3 nights. We'll visit some of the top producers of Verdicchio
and Rosso Conero including Sarterelli, Umani Ronchi and Garofoli
as well as a bevy of cultural and culinary experiences.
Then we head to Montecatini Terme for 5 nights from which
we explore the traditional Tuscan wine epicenters of Chianti
and Brunello as well as the nouveau Tuscan wine region of
Bolgheri. In the past we've had lunch at Frescobaldi, Castello
Banfi and Badia a Coltibuono and visits to such stellar wineries
as Felsina and Castello di Ama.
On July 18 we'll head back to Rome for an afternoon flight
home.
