A term used to describe red wines from Tuscany that may 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 that required that a wine use traditional grapes such as Sangiovese in order to be considered high quality.
producer Tenuta dell'Ornellaia and Eric with one of the most respected UK wine importers - Les Caves de Pyrene. They work with 120-year old vines of Nerello Mascalese growing on the volcanic soils of Etna. The element of discovery with this wine is incredibly exciting - and if you are a lover of great Burgundy and Barolo, we think you will enjoy this one. Organic
