Supertuscan wines

Supertuscan wines are a category of high-quality Italian reds from Tuscany that emerged in the 1970s. They often use non-traditional grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot alongside classic Sangiovese, resulting in rich, complex flavors with modern techniques. These wines are known for their boldness, smoothness, and aging potential. While they don’t always follow Italy’s strict DOC or DOCG regulations, they surpass typical standards of quality, often earning international acclaim. Supertuscans combine innovative winemaking with traditional Tuscan character, making them sought-after for their craftsmanship and depth.
