Walter's top Tuscans

An embarrassment of riches – that is how it felt to be submerged for a whole week in the best of what Tuscany has to offer. The region is without a shadow of a doubt one of Italy's premium wine regions and is more than ever living up to that reputation, in spite of a string of challenging vintages (described in Taking Chianti Classico seriously). Although I do not want to reduce so many good wines to a simple list, I couldn't resist singling out some of the best wines I tasted during that week.
