Tuscan Food

Tuscany is about food. In the Corsini Family Estates and homes one shares hearty, homemade meals notable for their use of traditional Tuscan recipes and seasonal ingredients. Tuscan cuisine stirs the soul and enters the consciousness, weaving a narrative of country life most easily expressed in the kitchen. But Tuscan food is not fussy. Any given day’s dinner is determined by a combination of gastronomic whim and what is fresh at the vendor’s stalls. Simplicity and the freshest ingredients come together to embody the Tuscan concept of genuine–that all things should be fresh, rooted in the region, and exceptional in their simplicity.
