That Florence is the cradle of good taste seems to be a given, but when we talk about good taste, we mostly talk about subjects relating to art, fashion or shoes, which reach unsurpassable levels in the City of the Arno. However, in Florence they know how to live well, they know how to eat and drink. That´s how we can explain the shop of Alessi, a temple dedicated to wine right in the city centre behind the cathedral.
Here you can find from the typical grappa, limoncello or the Tuscan wines who win so many awards in famous fairs. But Alessi, who knows how to live well because he´s Italian, from Florence and an oenologist, has bottles for all tastes, from all the places in the world you can possibly imagine, and at all prices.
Although they also serve on their webpage where you can ask a question to Giorgio directly, the best thing to do is to visit this amazing city in Tuscany and come to Alessi´s shop, and ask for advice there. Of course, you can enjoy it in a thousand ways, because that´s what wine is about, in the apartments in Florence that you´d booked, or directly at home. If you wish, and the wine has caused such a great impression on you, they wrap it up for you and pack your bottles so they can travel with you back home.
