¡@Description Tuscany offers some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe. The unique combination of cypress trees and olive groves mingling with vineyards and woods on undulating hillsides is enchanting. With villages and villas at every turn, what better way to explore the countryside than on foot? Over fifteen months of changing seasons Rosemary George did just that, visiting wine producers along the way, observing and savouring the local colour and the idiosyncrasies of a myriad of winemakers. Treading Grapes charts the wonderful renaissance of Tuscan wines, not just of the much-loved Chianti and old-established wines such as Brunello di Montalcino and Vinco Nobile di Montepulciano, but also of newer names such as Sassicaia and Ornellaia in the area of Bolgheri. Each chapter features a walk through a wine region and includes advice on the key estates, places to visit and favourite restaurants. It will be enjoyed by wine enthusiasts and armchair travellers alike.
