Super Tuscan
Super Tuscan is a term used to describe red wines from Tuscany that include non-indigenous grapes, particularly Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. The creation of super Tuscan wines resulted from the frustration winemakers had towards a slow bureaucracy in changing Italy’s wine law during the 1970s. Winemakers began mixing ‘unsanctioned’ wine varieties (like Merlot) into their blends to make high-quality wines. The legal system eventually yielded in 1992 with the creation of IGT, a new designation that gave winemakers the ability to be more creative.
One of the most famous Super Tuscan wines is the Sassicaia, but there's more out there. Consider these organic Super Tuscan wines and discover their high quality. Pair them with read meat, grilled steak, tagliatta and stews.
