Super Tuscan wines

Super Tuscan wines are high-quality red wines from Tuscany, Italy, that often blend traditional grape varieties like Sangiovese with non-native grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. These wines gained prominence in the 1970s when some winemakers sought to create distinctive wines that didn’t conform to strict Italian regulations. As a result, Super Tuscans offer bold flavors and rich complexity, attracting worldwide acclaim. They are typically more expensive than standard Tuscan wines, representing a fusion of local heritage and modern winemaking technique. Today, they are celebrated for their quality and unique character.
