Autumn in Tuscany
Autumn (Autunno in Italian) is the time to relax, cozy up with a deep glass of Chianti wine and watch how the colors change in the Tuscan countryside. The vast array of vineyards that line the hills morph from green leaves to shades of red, yellow, and orange. With the less frequenting sun and crisp cool Autumn air, vines take in lower amounts of nutrients which inevitably stops their food-making process. As a result, our beloved red grape leaves turn a reddish color, while the white grape leaves turn to a yellowish-orange color. A beautiful sight while touring the countryside on your way to visit the most beautiful wineries in the Chianti region.
