Story

“Super Tuscan” is a term used to describe red wines from Tuscany that may include non-indigenous grapes, particularly Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. The creation of super Tuscan wines resulted from the frustration winemakers had towards a slow bureaucracy in changing Italy's wine law during the 1970s.

Producer

Palistorti (or 'crooked post') is one of the truly great wines of Tuscany. Bold and racy, with gorgeous freshness and oodles of personality. Located between the Apennines and the Mediterranean coast in the north of Tuscany, Tenuta di Valgiano -one of the pioneers of biodynamic farming in Italy- craft stunning, vibrant wines based on sangiovese supplemented with either merlot or syrah, depending on the vintage.
