Super Tuscans

Super Tuscans

Super Tuscans are those red wines that shook up the strict rules of the Chianti Classico appellation in the 1970s. Rather than conforming, some winemakers in Maremma, and elsewhere in Tuscany, chose to use international grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, alone or blended with Sangiovese. The result? Bold wines, often more expensive, but which have gained a worldwide reputation. For you, a traveler in Maremma, it's an opportunity to discover exceptional wines that tell a story of freedom and innovation, far from the beaten paths of Chianti. You will find them at wine estates to visit for a memorable tasting.
