Tuscany has always been a region of brilliant minds, stunning scenery and great products. The Italian language was born here — and so were wines that still delight the palate today.
Tuscan vineyards have become so famous that many celebrities have chosen to invest here and produce their own fine wines: singers, actors, politicians and business leaders who have put their name on a real jewel of a winery.

A Brazilian banker and an Argentine tycoon

Chianti Classico is also loved by Italian rocker Gianna Nannini, who named the wine produced on her Tuscan estate "Baccano".
From the Italian music scene there is also Adriano Celentano, who with his wife Claudia Mori produces excellent Chianti on their own estate.
Even Sting couldn't resist putting his own name on a wine.
