The Tuscan table
Food and wine
A rich and vibrant region beloved of itinerant food-lovers, Tuscany has it all: passionate producers, fine ingredients and a culinary heritage perfected over centuries. At Monteverdi, we believe in the beauty of simple yet sublime fresh flavors and textures. Let your senses be your guide.
