Five DOCG appellations in a single province
When people talk about Tuscan wine, they think of Tuscany in general. But the real concentration is here, in the province of Siena.
- Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
- Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG
- Chianti Classico DOCG
- Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG
- Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG — the white: Italy's first DOC, 1966
Five controlled-and-guaranteed appellations, the highest tier of Italian wine classification. All within a handful of kilometres. All rooted in Sangiovese, with characters that shift with the soil, the altitude, the exposure.

Visiting them one by one takes time, good directions, and someone who can tell a cellar worth the drive from one that's only worth its website. Emanuele does exactly that. Sienese, a licensed sommelier, a wine tour guide working the territory he knows better than anyone — his own. His tours don't follow the standard route: they follow the stories, the winemakers, the places with something to say.
If you're in Siena for a few days and wine is part of the trip, he's the right person to spend an afternoon in the countryside with.
When you get back to town, at Trombicche you'll find a table — and what Tuscany knows how to do with what you've just seen in the vineyard.
