Super Tuscan

Super Tuscan refers to a category of high-quality red wines from the Tuscany region of Italy that do not adhere to the traditional regulations governing Chianti and other local wines. Since the 1970s, winemakers began blending Sangiovese grapes with non-native varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, aiming for a modern taste. These wines are celebrated for their richness and complexity, often achieving international acclaim. Although they may not fit traditional classifications, Super Tuscans showcase innovation and the unique terroir of Tuscany, appealing to wine enthusiasts around the world.
