Supertuscan

Supertuscan wines: Tuscan wines beyond traditional rules

Supertuscan wines represent one of the most recognisable expressions of modern Tuscan winemaking. Originally developed outside traditional regulations, these wines combine native grapes such as Sangiovese with international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Today, the term mainly refers to high quality wines produced under the Toscana IGT denomination, as well as wines from areas such as Bolgheri and Maremma, known for structure, complexity and ageing potential.
