Tuscan Blend
Region of Origin
Tuscany, one of Italy’s most prestigious wine regions, is the homeland of the celebrated Super Tuscan wines. Emerging in the late 20th century, this category was born out of a desire for greater winemaking freedom, allowing producers to move beyond strict appellation rules to craft bold, high-quality blends that rival the world’s finest wines. At the heart of most Super Tuscans lies Sangiovese, Tuscany’s flagship grape, known for its vibrant acidity, refined tannins, and rich aromas of red berries and spice
The Grapes
Sangiovese, Tuscany's signature grape, is the cornerstone of many of the region’s most iconic wines, including those crafted under the IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) designation. Known for its versatility and deep connection to the terroir, Sangiovese plays a pivotal role in shaping the character of Tuscan wines, providing a balance of fresh acidity, vibrant fruit, and firm tannins.
