ABOUT THE SERIES:
Tour d’Italia is our ongoing culinary tasting tour around the 20 regions of Italy—in alphabetical order. We started in November 2018 with our family's home region of Abruzzo, and have since continued to Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Emilia Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Liguria, Lombardy, Marche, Molise, Piedmonte, Sardinia, Sicily…
…And we are excited to make our next stop with you in the region of TUSCANY.
ABOUT THE REGION:
Nestled in the heart of Italy, Tuscany is celebrated for its rustic yet refined cuisine, marked by simplicity, fresh ingredients, and deep-rooted tradition. Tuscan dishes often highlight local staples like olive oil, bread, and tomatoes, as seen in classic recipes like ribollita, a hearty vegetable and bread soup, and panzanella, a refreshing bread and tomato salad. Meat lovers find comfort in dishes like bistecca alla Fiorentina, a thick-cut, char-grilled steak seasoned with nothing more than salt and pepper, letting the quality of the meat shine through. Handcrafted pasta, such as pici, thick and chewy noodles often served with a rich meat or garlic sauce, embodies Tuscany’s dedication to wholesome, comforting flavors.
Tuscan wines are equally iconic and celebrated worldwide. The region’s famed Chianti, with its earthy notes of cherries, herbs, and a hint of spice, pairs beautifully with rustic Tuscan fare. For a deeper, richer red, Brunello di Montalcino offers an intense yet balanced flavor, ideal alongside hearty meat dishes. White wine lovers will appreciate Vernaccia di San Gimignano, a crisp and mineral-driven wine that complements lighter dishes, cheeses, and antipasti. Rooted in centuries-old winemaking traditions and shaped by Tuscany's diverse terroir, these wines encapsulate the spirit and character of the region, giving wine enthusiasts an authentic taste of Tuscany’s pastoral charm and enduring heritage.
Join us for a chef-led pasta-making class to explore and celebrate the flavors of Tuscany in an immersive experience that brings the soul of Tuscany to the table.
