Tasting Notes
This refined Super Tuscan blend showcases an intense, deep red color, hinting at its complexity and structure. On the nose, it reveals a rich and vibrant bouquet, where fresh notes of dark-fleshed fruits such as black cherry and ripe blackberry take center stage. On the palate, it is succulent and enveloping, with a well-defined structure and an elegant tannic texture. The balance between softness and freshness enhances its persistence, leading to a long, harmonious finish with lingering fruity and slightly balsamic nuances. A wine that combines power and elegance in a full and satisfying sip.
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.
Altezza Winery
in San Gimignano
In the heart of Tuscany, in San Gimignano—the medieval city of a hundred towers—stands Cantina Altezza.
Perched on a hill that seems to touch the sky, it embodies the very essence of its name: a privileged vantage point from which the gaze drifts across the majestic towers of the city.
Here, where the beauty of nature intertwines with tradition, wine is not just a product but a story of family, passion, and terroir.
