Intense and enticing bouquet of ripe fruit, orange zest and spicy oak notes, on the palate with ripe fruit and fresh acidity, balanced, medium body, long final with a fine salty vein. SUPERIORE.DE

“Il Randagio” Rosso Toscana IGT 2022
Il Randagio (the stray) is wonderfully complex and nuanced. Initially quite closed, the delicately spicy nose creeps up with increasing aeration and opens further into a wonderfully complex bouquet of dark red to black berries. Rising floral, savoury and spicy accents point to a wine that says more about the style of the house than anything else. The palate is wide-ranging with delicate wild berry flavours, perfectly polished tannins and a fresh, very invigorating acid wire that uninhibitedly enhances the drinkability of this once again typically different red. The best days of this wine still lie in the future. SUPERIORE.DE

“Le Sughere di Frassinello” Maremma Toscana DOC 2021
Dark ruby red colour with an elegant shimmer. Intense and appealing nose with delicate spicy notes, opens up after a little time and then dark notes of wild berries and some undergrowth predominate. Very dense, with a continuation of the spicy notes already found on the nose, well integrated with plenty of fruit, which allows the wine to rest powerfully on the palate with a long final.

The qualitative gap to Argentiera, the winery's flagship, has thus been noticeably reduced and the wine sets new standards in the entire Bolgheri DOC.

The name Supertuscan refers to a category of Tuscan red wines made predominantly from the French varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Syrah, always maturing in small French oak barrels. The very first of its kind to be vinified in this renowned Bordeaux style was created far from Italian wine laws in the Tuscan town of San Guido, from where a distinctive five-kilometre-long avenue of cypress trees leads into the village of Bolgheri.
In the 1950s, French grape varieties were not yet among those permitted for the production of Tuscan DOC wines, but this did not prevent the aristocratic winemaker Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta from planting a few hectares of Merlot and Cabernet vines anyway. His longing for sophisticated Bordeaux wines tempted him to vinify a red wine in this French style, which, however, did not meet the DOC standards of Tuscany at the time due to the use of unauthorised foreign grape varieties and could thus only be classified as a simple table wine.
With the help of his nephew Piero Antinori and the oenologist Giacomo Tachis, the Sassicaia from San Guido came onto the market in 1968 - the first Tuscan red wine made from French varieties, at whose tasting the American wine critic Robert Parker invented the name "Supertuscan" out of his enthusiasm. The success inspired the production of other top wines, which led to the Bolgheri wine-growing area in eastern Tuscany no longer being known for simple cask wines, but worldwide for the most expensive red wines in Italy.
The vineyard area of this growing zone, which is bordered by the Mediterranean coast and the towns of Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri, has grown from 280 hectares to an impressive 1,370 hectares in the last 27 years. Here, the DOC rules are not the measure of all things, because whether a Supertuscan bears the Bolgheri DOC seal of approval on the label or not is still secondary. Because some grape varieties and proportions are not allowed in the Tuscan DOC guidelines, many winemakers deliberately market their high-quality wines according to the geographical designation of origin "Indicazione Geografica Tipica", abbreviated IGT. Under these circumstances, the classification says little about the actual quality of the wines, considering that even the world-famous Sassicaia was initially declared as a simple table wine.
These red wines, full of character, fascinate with a considerable ageing potential, an elegant texture, smooth tannins and a long finish with cedar wood and plum notes. However, many praised Supertuscans owe their true complexity to a Tuscan grape variety: Sangiovese was not completely forgotten in Bolgheri, because the powerful blends are often refined with a juicy, fruity portion of the local variety.
With such a great popularity and the proud prices, the question naturally arises as to how much money one pays for the wine quality and how much one actually pays for the famous "super" name. In addition to those prominent wineries that produce incomparable blends, there are many Tuscan winegrowers, even away from Bolgheri, who bottle wonderful Supertuscans at attractive prices with craftsmanlike care. And because we take good wine very personally, we have also only included the Supertuscans in our range that have really impressed us in all aspects. SUPERIORE.DE
