About Tuscan Sun Wines
The portfolio of distinctive Italian varietal wines and wine blends from some
of Italy’s most renowned winegrowing regions including Tuscany, Alto Adige
and the Veneto, make it possible for consumers everywhere to experience the
pleasures of the Tuscan lifestyle from the comforts of home.
Having feasted and sipped her way across the verdant countryside of Italy for
more than two decades, Frances Mayes draws upon on her connection to Cortona,
and her extensive friendships with noted winemakers across Italy in creating this
enchanting, approachable collection. Launching with six unique red and white
bottlings hand-selected by Mayes herself, with a sparkling Prosecco to launch in
2014, each Tuscan Sun Wine embodies a different concept that touches on the
Tuscan lifestyle and the essence of Bramasole, the home she lovingly restored
(and famously chronicled) there. Individual works of art representing scenes
from Bramasole as well as a short vignette penned by Mayes adorn each label
and hint at the pleasure of the wine contained within.
